Can't wait to play around with the api. Definitely the best pricing I've seen.

#32Congrats! Plivo's one of the most impressive startups out of this last batch. Twilio's in trouble :)
Plivo has useful features that Twilio doesn't have, e.g. Playing in call notifications, bidirectional SIP and IIRC early media. I think Plivo basically copying Twilio's API schema was a mistake as IMO it's not perfect itself. Twilio most certainly should not be resting on its laurels.
One thing I'm happy to see Plivo stop doing is arguably trolling Twilio at every turn. All that did was to indirectly make the conversation about Twilio, instead of Plivo. It's a mistake Twilio has never made, and IMO one of the reasons behind their success.

#33We built a click 2 call app for a client using Twilio and now realized that they needed to have Caller ID to be passed to the call center.
This morning, we were looking into Tropo. Glad to see Plivo also supports setting arbitrary caller ID.

#34Awesome! I really enjoyed working with Plivo, in comparison to Twilio, Nexmo. They even had (306) phone numbers. I made a Hubchilla like clone with them (https://github.com/Jonovono/URconnecting)
edit: Oops, had the repo set to private :p

#37Is the plan to still support an Open Source version of the cloud hosted app, so if you wanted to run your own you could? Do you also sell support/commercial licenses?

Email Twilio support, they can help you with that (I used to work there)

Hi Chintan - Let me know if you need any help. I'd be happy to discuss Tropo's capabilities.
Thanks,
