Thank you for your valuable feedback. There is a free trial but reserving a VOIP number and send texts we still have to pay the carriers etc. So we'll definitely take a loss plus the freeloaders always find a way to abuse the system. e.g. Write a bot to create an account and use the new API key to send 10,000 texts and repeat that. Cannot explain how much spam we receive with people trying fake CC numbers from different countries or behind proxies

Yeah, you need a good way to screen the muck of the internet pond before doing expensive (time/data/cycles/money) queries. But you need more customers to tell you what they want -- you're trying to make the most delicious moose food. You don't know what moose want. I don't know what moose want. Cover yourself in blueberries. Go lay in a field. Did the moose come?! Is she licking your foot! Oh gosh write it down! More blueberry sauce! Startups are a bicycle made of science and users
