Hi Jeff

If I understand the page for Fraud Guard correctly, this appears to cost money.

Seems like Twilio should be filtering spam (a) by default / auto-enabled for all and (b) at no cost to the user.

Much like how spam is included & auto enabled for all (and free) from Gmail/Outlook/etc.

It's no cost to the user! Defaults are rolled out to everybody, but the users opts-into aggressive protection because of the risk of false positives. Note, this is Verify today. All Programmable SMS customers will get it soon as well.
FWIW, the “Cost of Terminating Each SMS” is what confused me.
