Twilio now enables messaging to over 150 countries worldwide

Most unsupported countries/territories seem to be small islands. The most expensive maximum price is 14.1c/msg in Bulgaria and Vanuatu. The most expensive minimum price is 14.1c/msg in Vanuatu, then 8.3c/msg in Mexico (also its maximum).

Love how Hacker News will post anything Twilio like their pricing, but competitors posts are instantly removed. More proof that HN is a silicon valley whore

Please post a competitor here, I would love to know about them. Every other SMS gateway I have ever dealt with wants to know how many million messages per month you send before they will talk to you.

Not that I have any attachment or preference to Tropo or Twillio but I think Tropo was there before and it has most things free thru development time since I know. And it supported my country since I know of them.

For international/paid/premium SMS, I think Sybase 365 is still the 900 pound gorilla.

Twilio has many, many more HN users as customers than all of those other companies so naturally the collective will be more interested in it. Also, while I was there we worked really hard to be active contributors to HN so the company has a good reputation here.

I love how you felt the need to create a sockpuppet account for this complaint. If you hate HN, the internet is a big place.

Haha...sockpuppet account!

Out of curiosity, how much do I need to pay to get my pricing page on hackernews?

knodi• 14 years ago

Is it 90-100% coverage in all of those 150 countries?

mason55• 14 years ago

The pricing seems to be very reasonable. The only place I could find that was above 1 cent per sent message was Vietnam at 1.6 cents.

A regular table would be nice instead of having to search country-by-country.

Edit: a few island countries like Seychelles and Samoa are 1.2 cents.

Argentina (Claro) 7.5¢ / msg

Check western Europe:

Spain: 7.7 cents; Germany: 7 cents; France: 7 cents; Portugal: 5.6 cents; United Kingdom: 4 cents

The highest I've found so far is Mexico with 8.3 cents.

See my post up-thread for a table: Bulgaria and Vanuatu hit 14.1c.

Pretty cool, but how about MMS? For now, more complete support within the US would be great.
