I haven't used Plivo, but IIRC, with Twilio, you had to verify you owned the number you used in the Caller ID field, either by buying a DID from them or by entering a confirmation code sent to that number via a call and/or SMS.
- dhfromkorea 13y agoHi chhl. With Plivo, you also need to get legitimate numbers to send SMS messages. (numbers purchased on Plivo or numbers ported to Plivo) As you know, this is a preventive measure against spoofing; however there are some edge cases where allowing custom caller IDs might make sense. (e.g. when you want to have people you called get back to a certain number—custom phone line numbers at a large organization.)
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoThat all makes sense. I assumed there would be some safe guards for that very reason.
- dhfromkorea 13y agoTrue, I think that's fair concern.
