"At this phase we have to talk both to the business and to developers."

How can I send my wife a grocery list, with a twiml bin, and not register a business use-case and provide a US EIN for A2P 10DLC (along with example messages and opt-out mechanisms) ?

Haha - just kidding.

I know I can't do that.

... and as long as we have you here, what, pray tell, will Twilio do with the pages and pages of use-cases and howtos for home automation, personal alerts, person to person messaging, self-reminders, email forwards - like this, for instance:

https://www.twilio.com/blog/build-adhd-lifehack-tools-python...

Will you just remove all of those ?

Because they are impossible.

There are no hobbyist uses of Twilio after July.

For what it’s worth, this is driven by federal regulations and carrier requirements, not by Twilio itself.

Yes, but the Twilio implementation of this has been very frustrating. The process is (needlessly?) complex and has changed several times since it's inception. The last time I had to adjust our 10DLC configuration I was forced to use the Twilio API instead of the web console.

An API is great if you have to do something hundreds of times or automate a process, but I had >10 sub-accounts to update and doing it through the API made it much more difficult. I feel like Twilio really dropped the ball here and could have done much more to make the 10DLC process more manageable.

I as wondering about the exact same thing. Sad to learn it’s just not an option anymore.
