Hi there, Matt Jackson from Twilio here. I’m the Product Manager for Super SIM. You’re right, we currently don’t have support for Verizon but we hope to be able to add it in the future. We understand that different developers have different connectivity preferences, so we designed our system to be flexible to adding new partners to the platform. As we continue to add networks, the networks of the future should become available to Super SIMs bought today.

With Super SIM you can also have access to multiple networks at once. For example, if you’re connected to T-Mobile and move to an area where there isn’t coverage, your device can automatically switch over to AT&T. This gives you redundant connectivity too in case any one network or tower goes down.

Matt - off topic, but since I have someone from Twilio here ...

Please, please, for the love of god, please add an "email" verb to the twiml language.

You can make it super restrictive if you need to - like you can only email addresses that you can prove you own ... or something.

All I want is to be able to cc: an email with certain SMS alerts and it takes a sendgrid account and write some functions and validate email @ sendgrid with real names and addresses and on and on and on ... just to send an alert to an email address.

Hi there! That's a bit out of my wheelhouse but I shared your message with some Twilio Sendgrid email folks to take a look.
Vouched for Matt’s reply to overcome HN spam filter.

Matt, I’m not sure what the spam filter is latching in to, but you may want to try varying your opening line a little bit for each response.
