Twilio a Scam

Is Twilio a scam? 


Twilio is a rather AI website that allows users to create list of contacts, data and logs for communication. Is this a scam site? Well let's just see from first-hand experience. 

With this site being online since 2007, located in California. When first branded it was called "markmonitor.com". It has two set of numbers located in the USA and Europe. This domain will need to be renewed in 2026. 

Twilio is another phone calling and text messaging software that people can add to websites and social media pages. When receiving calls or text while using this software you will be able to track anyone that contacts you. With API location data tracking. 

They are a paid service to use. With each basic text will cost someone about $0.007, calls on the other hand $0.008 to receive a call and $0.014 to make a call. You can send up to 100 emails per day for free. Anything after that you have to pay $20 a month. You can also send out marketing campaigns for $15 or 6,000 a month for free. If you want to look up and verify numbers that will cost, you $0.01 per number. You can even do video calls for $0.004 a minute. 

Do keep in mind that all the cost will come on your part not the people you are speaking with. In all the aspect of this place is great for businesses or professions. They do offer a short period of time for a free trail to use. That part is what I want to share about. 

So, when I signed up for this to test and try out, this is what happened. I needed this to send bulk emails out. That did not go so well. They really need to work on the formatting and style. It lacks the ability to actually send emails in bulk, like they claim. Not only that, when using the service, it's heavily suggested to buy in on all services they offer. Making the click through process such a pain. 

After sending some money and about 50 days using this place, it did not stand up to the expectations they claim to offer. So, I decided it was time to part ways. That is when I got an email saying some personal information was on the darkweb. 

Come to find out Twilio had sold my phone number to the darkweb calling list. Yes, my real phone that I used to verify the Twilio account when I first signed up. If I knew something like that would have happened, I would have used a fake number from a calling app or something else. 


So are they a scam, in some parts yes. With the fact once you stop using them and cancel your account, you take the risk of the information you gave them, just for Twilio to sell it to the darkweb. So, keep that in mind if you plan on signing up for them. If possible, for you, simply download a calling/texting app just for verifying purposes. 


I hope this helps you and gives you some information that you might not have known. Take care now!
