Twilio now enables messaging to over 150 countries worldwide
- wildmXranat 14y agoPricing page @ http://www.twilio.com/sms/pricing http://www.twilio.com/sms/pricing , shows that inbound SMS is 1c per minute. Novel idea !
- sleepyhead 14y agoBut I need to define a custom SenderId. Most other SMS gateways allow this. Love the pricing though.
- asmithmd1 14y agoWhat does a custom SenderId mean? In the US Twilio SMS show a number you have registered with Twilio so people can reply. Is this not the case with international SMS?
- melvinmt 14y agoA full list of supported countries would be nice.
- asmithmd1 14y agoI checked: Cambodia - yes, Yemen - yes, Libya - yes! Somalia - no, Cuba - no, Tibet - no They say 150 countries and over 1000 carriers
- zht 14y agoHave you tried other parts of China?
- frankacter 14y agoYou can search by country here: http://www.twilio.com/pricing/international-calling-rates http://www.twilio.com/pricing/international-calling-rates Or view all Countries, with exchange numbers, here: http://www.twilio.com/resources/rates/international-rates.csv http://www.twilio.com/resources/rates/international-rates.cs...
- mkl 14y agoThose links are for calling rather than SMS messaging. I was curious so I scraped the data: http://pastebin.com/DAhjhY0y http://pastebin.com/DAhjhY0y Most unsupported countries/territories seem to be small islands. The most expensive maximum price is 14.1c/msg in Bulgaria and Vanuatu. The most expensive minimum price is 14.1c/msg in Vanuatu, then 8.3c/msg in Mexico (also its maximum).
- hatehn 14y agoLove how Hacker News will post anything Twilio like their pricing, but competitors posts are instantly removed. More proof that HN is a silicon valley whore

- asmithmd1 14y agoPlease post a competitor here, I would love to know about them. Every other SMS gateway I have ever dealt with wants to know how many million messages per month you send before they will talk to you.
- middayc 14y agoNot that I have any attachment or preference to Tropo or Twillio but I think Tropo was there before and it has most things free thru development time since I know. And it supported my country since I know of them.

- rdl 14y agoFor international/paid/premium SMS, I think Sybase 365 is still the 900 pound gorilla.
- johns 14y agoTwilio has many, many more HN users as customers than all of those other companies so naturally the collective will be more interested in it. Also, while I was there we worked really hard to be active contributors to HN so the company has a good reputation here. I love how you felt the need to create a sockpuppet account for this complaint. If you hate HN, the internet is a big place.
- mpermar 14y agoOut of curiosity, how much do I need to pay to get my pricing page on hackernews?
- knodi 14y agoIs it 90-100% coverage in all of those 150 countries?
- mason55 14y agoThe pricing seems to be very reasonable. The only place I could find that was above 1 cent per sent message was Vietnam at 1.6 cents. A regular table would be nice instead of having to search country-by-country. Edit: a few island countries like Seychelles and Samoa are 1.2 cents.
- pirer 14y agoArgentina (Claro) 7.5¢ / msg
- PixelRobot 14y agoCheck western Europe: Spain: 7.7 cents; Germany: 7 cents; France: 7 cents; Portugal: 5.6 cents; United Kingdom: 4 cents The highest I've found so far is Mexico with 8.3 cents.
- mkl 14y agoSee my post up-thread for a table: Bulgaria and Vanuatu hit 14.1c.
- brianshaler 14y agoPretty cool, but how about MMS? For now, more complete support within the US would be great.
