On: Show HN: Phoneify - 20 hours with Rails 3 & Twilio

[sghael]

It should work, although I have only nominally tested international numbers. What country are you in?

Looks like Twilio doesn't (yet) do international SMS either:

Listic is correct. We (Twilio) do not support international SMS on accounts by default. We are currently offering it in beta. However, after a quick email to Sandeep just now, I turned it on for his account and you should be able to test International SMS on Phoneify now. Reminder: it is currently in beta, so there may be some deliverability issues in countries that don't have great coverage. Let us know so we can make it better.

And this is why HN rocks. Thanks Daniel

For what it's worth it worked amazingly fast for me in Panama. It generally takes around 6 to 10 seconds for the sms to arrive from people a meter from myself. Twilio's sms arrived a two or three seconds after I pressed send.

Wow. That's awesome. Thanks for letting us know.

Didn't work at all in Belgium. Tried it twice, no SMS response. I'm in an area with perfect coverage.

[danielzarick → fdb]

Interesting. Thanks for letting us know. I'll look into it. We're definitely working to make sure we have the best coverage.

Also, can you let me know the carrier that you use?
