- bragr 3y agoI wonder if that's a crackdown on cannabis, or if the cannabis industry is forced to use sketchy carriers.

- dmitrygr 3y agoThat sounds like a system working perfectly correctly. What is the issue?
- openthc 3y agoThe issue is that legit, licensed businesses -- calling each other to conduct lawful business (not spam, calling to discuss pricing on existing deals) and T-Mobile blocking the calls. So, for example, a Verizon client is calling a State enforcement officer who's device is T-Mobile -- now the licensee call cannot go through to communicate with their enforcement officer -- which can lead to bad things -- such as LEO at your door with dogs and guns.
- j-bos 3y agoSome of the only spam messages I receive are ads for cannabis shops. I've never even touched a plant.
- openthc 3y agoNot just T-Mobile; Twilio is also (selectively) hostile to cannabis. T-Mobile blocks (or tags as spam) 100s of legitimate, licensed businesses. From the FCC: "Universal service is the principle that all Americans should have access to communications services" -- and Twilio, T-Mobile (and other providers) make selective choices which are against that policy.
