Broadcast status updates via SMS to your subscribers anywhere on the planet using your Twilio account.
Overview
Status.io does not charge extra for SMS messages. Instead we built integrations with Twilio and Vonage allowing you to use your own account with independent billing.
When you connect your Twilio account to your status page, a US toll-free number is automatically purchased in your account. This number is your unique phone number where all SMS messages will originate from. Twilio charges $2.00/month for this number. This pricing could change anytime, please review Twilio’s pricing.
Twilio charges per SMS message. International messaging rates vary and we highly recommend reviewing Twilio’s pricing at https://www.twilio.com/sms/pricing.
