Is there any way to add number in twilio's STOP list?
We require to add subscriber phone number in the STOP list manually or programing Function?
Scenario,
There is one of our customers, a very old lady, she has been subscribed to our promo messages, but now she does not want to receive any sms from us, because she is being charged for receiving messages.
At the same time she can not send STOP sms back to us.
Is there any way we can manually add this lady's number so that she should not be able to receive any message generated for this specific number?
Twilio evangelist here.
There isn't a way that you can add to the list, but send an email to support#twilio.com and they can manually add it.
Hope that helps.

I'm trying to figure out how to send a SMS from Flutter without using a SIM CARD.
I have a list of contacts followed by the password of each user stored in two seperated Columns in Excel sheet, I'm trying to read these contact in flutter than send the password of each user via SMS services.
Almost every plugin requires a SIM card, but my app would be so much better if its a desktop app.
Thank you.
You can use a service like Twilio to set up a phone number that can be used to send texts. This works by interfacing with the Twilio API over the internet to send your request (what number you want to text, and what the sms content should be, etc) and then Twilio will send the corresponding text message.
Email a Text
Another method, albeit clunkier compared to the others in this article, is to send a text message via email. Each wireless carrier has an email formula for doing so. For example, to send a text message (SMS) to an AT&T user, email "number#txt.att.net," but replace "number" with a 10-digit phone number. To send an MMS (multimedia message, such as a photo) email "number#mms.att.net." Check with the carrier or reference this list of carrier email addresses.
The issue here is the email could end up in the recipients' spam folder or get lost in the shuffle since it will look differently from standard email addresses. You must also know which carrier the recipient uses.

Is there a way when using the REST API to send an outgoing message that I can specify the SMS Url to use for any responses to that message? I saw mention of it in the docs where it says you can specify it for the phone number in the console or via the API. If I post a variable named SmsUrl when sending the text it still uses the url connected to the number or the twilio app.
We need responses to submit back to a url on our server that includes a parameter that lets us connect the response to a specific inspection request. In other words we need to be able to connect the response not to the from number but to the record on our end for which the outgoing message was triggered.
Thanks
If you are sending from a single number this is totally impossible, SMS simply doesn't work like that. If you send me 5 SMS and then I reply to one of them my reply contains no data which links it to the SMS I am responding to.
The only ways I can see you achieving this are:
Assign a different outgoing number to each trigger. This is foolproof
but may not be viable depending on your usecase and nuber of
triggers. It may also confuse your users if they get texts from many
different numbers, although if you buy consecutive ones you could
mitigate this.
Include instructions in your SMS like "Reply 1 to request a call, 2
to request a password reset..." or "Start your reply with XXXX" where
XXXX is a unique code you generate server side and assign to the
user, or have a code for each trigger or whatever. This would work
with only one outgoing number, but in my experience the end users
will screw it up a lot of the time and not respect your instructions.
Hi there I need to know if there is any way to check the status of an e-mail or sms in Corona SDK. I need to be sure if the user sent the email or sms to give him a gift, an extra live or something like that.
So, how can I be sure that the sending process completed successfully?
You can't check this. Corona just start an intent and launch the mail or sms app but the user will decide what he wants to do next. You should try to contact Corona staff or make a feature request here http://feedback.coronalabs.com/forums/188732-corona-sdk-feature-requests-feedback but from my own experience I can tell you that it can take even an year until they will add this new feature. Last months they respond better to user requests.
I have not been able to find any information about the topic online, so I am assuming it is not possible, but is there a way to create an app that when turned on will respond to all incoming calls by sending them to voicemail and responding with a text message? I know you can set the reply with message in iOS6, but we would want the message to be sent automatically when the call is recieved, currently the respond with message the user still needs to hit a button when the call comes in to send this. We would also want to respond to any incoming SMS/imessages with a text. As well as reply automatically via email to any incoming emails. If anyone could link me to an apple site or somewhere that says you can't do this? Thanks for your help.
Edit - is there any way to get information about notifications for these items? I was thinking if you can't directly handle the call itself, on a timed loop you could check to see if there were any missed calls or any info relating to those? Thanks
Not unless you want to develop and application for jailbroken phones, which will not be allowed in the Apple App Store.
first of all thanks a lot to all of you for past valuable suggestions,we are creating an application where on certain events wants to send email/sms to specified phone number we already tried with the openURL call but it opens the existing inbuilt email/sms application of the iphone.Our requirement is to send sms/email without opening the inbuilt iphone email/sms application is it possible if yes what are the supported API's to achieve it.
thanks in advance.
You can do this with a short code by way of a SMS/MMS aggregator like OpenMarket or as another person has posted you can use the SMS Gateway but this requires the knowledge of the end users carrier name. If your replying to a SMS on the iPhone I believe you can use the API which in turn would give you the carrier id of the incoming SMS message you would like to reply to.
Maybe you could explain your problem a little more so we can better grasp your question.
You can see my other answer from a similar question. Basically you can send an email to the phone if you know the provider. The provider will then format the email into a SMS message.
