How do I receive inbound messages?
Twilio SMS on RapidAPI doesn’t currently support inbound SMS.
Pricing
Pricing is based upon the cost of the message being sent. When RapidAPI receives the cost of the message, it is multiplied by 10000 to convert it to the Credits object. Ex/ A message to a US-based number that costs $0.0075 will equal 75 Credits. To calculate the current balance of your account, divide the number of credits by 10000. Ex/ If your account has used 50000 Credits, you will owe $5.
Geography Permissions
You may receive the following error message when attempting to send an SMS: “Permission to send an SMS has not been enabled for the region indicated by the ‘To’ number: XXX”. In order to get your desired destination activated, we will first need some information to verify your account. Send an email to the RapidAPI’s Support Team (support@rapidapi.com) with these details:
- Business name and address (if applicable)
- Point of contact full name and email
- High level description of how your app will utilize the Twilio API & what types of messages will be sent
- Country geolocations that you wish to add to your accounts list of allowed destinations
