Twilio UK long codes not mobile
 

Hi guys

Was looking into ChadWyatt's WP plugin to integrate a Twilio account, looks really good, although wondering about the support, seems like he hasnt been around for a while due to trouble in his part of the world, hope he and his family are ok? Anyway, I was looking at the long code numbers available on Twilio, but they seem to only have landline numbers available. Am I missing something? They do support text messaging, but would look weird if people see a flyer saying to text a landline number?

Wondering if any sms marketers in the UK using Twilio long codes could maybe get in touch?

Thanks guys

What's the difference between landline numbers and mobile numbers in the UK?

Re: Twilio UK long codes not mobile
 

Landline numbers start with 01, 02 or 03. Mobile numbers start with 07.

Re: Twilio UK long codes not mobile
 

Text messages can be sent to landline numbers too in the UK. The message takes the form of audio when received.

Bigmaz -

I asked Twilio about the 07 numbers and here was there response -

"I know 07 numbers are a popular request but we unfortunately don't have any
available in our inventory. We'll work to get them in the future but I don't have a
specific timeline for you.

Let me know if I can answer any other questions.

Sincerely,
Emily

What are you trying to do?

Can you explain what ChadWyatts plugin does?

Re: Twilio UK long codes not mobile
 

Here is the plugin http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...marketing.html

It turns your Wordpress site into a white label sms platform, usinf Twilio as the sms service. I have decided not to go with Twilio, I have chosen a UK company for my sms service. They have a white label system too, but I am going to try and stay away from that, I want to manage peoples campaigns for them.

Just got an email from Twilio this morning, saying they have started doing UK mobile numbers. They are Beta testing them.
