Verizon Rejecting Twilio Error Message as Violating Carrier Guidelines
6 by another_comment | 12 comments on Hacker News.
So I was sending an SMS to my friend using Twilio. And it got rejected as violating carrier guidelines. It was about masks, not even controversial. I tried to send my friend a copy/paste of the twilio error message and this was rejected as violating carrier guidelines. Can anyone reproduce this? Sending this via SMS gets rejected: "Verizon (Error: 30007) Carrier violation. Your message content was flagged as going against carrier guidelines." Sending this does not: (Error: 30007) Carrier violation. Your message content was flagged as going against carrier guidelines." The only difference is adding the word Verizon. And by the way Verizon, why is a Twilio error message considered harmful enough to filter?
