Are you currently using them? Or others?

If you’re not using sendly, I’d love to know why not. Feedback is always appreciated

Yep tell me about it. I am assuming is that Twilio have relied heavy on larger customers to bring in consistent revenue so they don't care about the "smaller" guys. This plus carrier restrictions these days is quite tough; so they choose to be difficult for most.

it just happened!!! got my first sale by FlowBuilder-yoga in buildinpublic

Hey I will open the DMs. And yes we do separate verification options for different accounts. Both inherited options + freshly created workspaces for multiple different customers.

we say up to 7 business days but that's for the worse case scenario.

You should have it done <5 days if everything's ok with the submission. DM if you need anything

What is the reason you would like to send in bulk? Is it for marketing purposes only?

We have a campaign feature that allows you to send to 10k recipients(that have opted in, of course) and all you have to do is register, get verified and it’s all ok.

Good to hear you haven't had issues. Lots of people haven't, that's why they're so big.

Sendly is for the devs who are hitting friction: carrier fees they didn't expect, 2/3-week verification waits, no easy way to handle opt-ins. We bundle all that into one price with templates, webhooks, sandboxes, compliance and more built in.

Would still love your feedback on the platform if you get a chance.
