      Odd Twilio app behavior; representative does not seem to understand my concern about a device that I did not authorize using my account. She is explaining how to add a device when that is currently the opposite of what I am in need of. Very strange.

      This complaint is in regards to the Authy app by Twilio.I sent customer support a message about some issues with the app. I was asked by the representative if I could take any screenshots of the issue. Due to security policy, screenshots are not allowed to be taken of certain aspects of the app.This is quite concerning, considering the employees should have knowledge of the app and its' security measures.

      They limited my account because of a security issue they said they found, but I have fixed and did all the steps they wanted me to do, and was promised these restrictions would be removed off my account, yet they continue to not respond to me and its costing my business money. Switching providers with my complex system would cost too much money so the only thing I need is for them to respond! I have been reaching out for MONTHS and quite honestly to no respond in my ticket #******** I call text, and email them and they respond with other tickets saying they promise they will respond to my issue but they never do! Its been over 6 months and they have NOT fixed this issue on my account. And they continue to charge me for the services even though my account is limited even though I did all the steps they needed me too, have been super patient, but they just never respond!

      Hi, very disappointed with *******. We have historically used twillio to send out texts to people in our software system who expect them and rely on them to do their work. That bein said, about 6 months ago, without any form of notification, disabled our accounts ability to send messages by making their delivery fail but continued to charge us!!! We tried to fix this by going through your process which makes no sense by the way sense its not a campaign its reach out our to contracted individuals!!! not sure whats going on here but very disappointed. Please refund all chargesfrom the past 6 months which you fraudulently charged (billed, pretended to send, blocked delivery). And fix this issue asap. Likely wont be with ******* long after how horrible this has been but should still do the right thing...

I own a photo booth business and have customer send photos to there phones sometime it work sometimes not. Recently twilio rejected my number and its been a nightmare for any kind of help. Its all automated and no customer service VIA phone all i want is my stuff working again. They have a number but it say something robotically and hangs up. WORST customer service i have EVER had! I haev tried and tried and TRIED to get the number approved NO LUCK and no the wont fix it or help via phone. So im will be suing them for lost wages if i dont get help soon. I am calling my lawyer on monday to see what can be done. Impacts on my business. Customers dont trust us any longer cause photos can no longer get to customers. Also customer no longer trust that they will get there photos any longer.

      On 2023-04-19, 10:32 AM, I responded to the Twilio request to update our account to support a new federal communication compliance request. The request was to update our business names/campaigns.We updated and provider the requested information, Between the initial request data, over 6 months has past and as well six support ticket created as Twilio closes out tickets without a resolution. Twilio requests that we keep deleting and recreating these campaigns. We have communicated a variety of time that we are following Twilios exact needs and in fact we communicated that we will delete and recreate the exact same campaigns to support business verification.This process requires a fee each time a verification is requested and Twilio continues to charge for this as well bill for the service that is not offered to us as Twilio continually prevents business verification.We have spent over 6 months in good faith to get this resolved. This lack of Twilio to support our business verification has materially impacted our business.
