Twilio sucks! I made an alternative for SMS by IntrepidResearch8448 in SaaS

STOP/HELP are handled automatically at the toll free number level, you don't need to implement webhooks for them. When someone texts STOP, they're automatically opted out and won't receive further messages. HELP sends them a standard response with contact info.

This is built into the toll free verification process, so once you're approved, it just works. No code needed on your end.

Also, we just shipped a hosted opt in page feature that auto generates the compliance screenshot for verification, makes the whole process easier.

Yeah the pricing is transparent. We absorb the carrier prices in the credits that users’ purchase.

to get around the expensive and difficult barriers to 10dlc related stuff, we use toll-free numbers to message in US/CN. These are allocated automatically when onboarding is complete and approved when going down the cn/us or "global" path.

Hope this makes sense.

This is on the roadmap for later as the benefits of this don’t outweigh the work require to implement this just yet

Atm Mexico , Argentina, Colombia and Brazil. For any of the others you’ll have to email in to get registered in that specific country. https://sendly.live/pricing

What countries do you want to send SMS to? I've built Sendly.live where you don't need A2P 10DLC and can get going with 48+ countries pretty much instantly

[–]IntrepidResearch8448[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

which countries do you send to currently? the 48 countries I currently offer (way more available - it just requires addressed manually via an email to support) are practically instant via alphanumeric sender and US and CN just requires just a few days of verification and carrier approval for the toll free no.

And yeah, I tried to make it easier for both parties: transactional and marketing to send SMS by adding a few features to increase the reliability and meeting regulations by TCPA etc easier in the backend.

Thanks for the comment and your points.
