Twilio adds numbers in 20 new countries
- malvim 14y agoWas very excited to try this since they now support Brazil. Unfortunately, they can't verify my phone number because... It's in Brazil. Is it supposed to be that way, or am I overlooking something?
- kevinburke 14y ago* facepalm *. You should be able to verify a Brazilian number on the signup page now, can you try it again?
- malvim 14y agoHoly crap, that was a fast response! :) Also, thanks for contacting me on twitter. Unfortunately, I'm still unable to verify my (mobile) phone number. :/
- malvim 14y agoUpdate: We got in touch via email and Kevin and the others sorted out what was wrong. Brazilians can now officially activate their numbers and use Twilio. Props on the great work, guys!
- 5mate 14y agoI find Twilio very useful for setting up fake 'people'. Which I use for Social Engineering Tests and such. The fact that they just added more countries should makes this even easier and much more believable. I'm not totally clear on the commerical value add for Twilio but I know for a fact it is used by plenty of people writing malicious software and this update should make it much more effective. Twilio + VoiceBunny + ((RSS + Reddit Comments) + Twitter + Facebook) yields nearly 100% believeable fake people. I've also used actors from craigslist in the past. I've used these methods to social engineer access to bank accounts, servers and all sorts of things.
- mike-cardwell 14y agoHow is Twilio different to any other VOIP provider for this?
- lgleason 14y agoThe cloud is where voice is going.....before traditional voice telecom dies. Nice to see this!
