    If you really care a lot about the authenticity and other aspects of SMS to you user that it should reach on time, without lag and security then MSG91 is best suited to do this job. But if you are doing just some promotional email or not so important updates for the users then you can go for a different vendor also which also supports bulk messaging.

    Telegram has been very well suited for family video calls and conversations where detailed and private information is being shared. Video calling is fantastic and I'm so thrilled that they added group video calls now! The video quality is also so good that I've been able to use it to make virtual portrait sessions happen. I just don't use this for sending out formal contracts and things like that. I feel like email still needs to be used for those scenarios, but any client that just wants a secure way of communicating with me about their private family matters...this is THE app to use!

    Cons
    MSG91
    • After updation in some of policies of TRAI in India the documents needs update
    • Some of the API's have became complicated after recent updates
    • If there could be some alert mechanism that can help to know about reaching quota, or downtime alerts

    • It is so safe to use that many users can share anything, including private pictures of anyone, even nudity as well. That is horribly disgusting.
    • They should restrict those users who run nudity in the Telegram groups and community.
    • Otherwise, I don't have any problem[s with] Telegram. I am a very satisfied user of Telegram.

    After going through all of them we felt MSG91 is more cleaner in terms of integration details and also the support by their tech team. Integration wish Twilio was very good but the dashboard and other features which MSG91 provides were somewhat similar or easy to understand for our team.

    I used WhatsApp Business but it's limited. I can add only 250+/- members to the WhatsApp group. But in Telegram, it's 200000. So this is a big opportunity to promote my event. Telegram has much more user data privacy and company transparency than Signal. I am using both but telegram for vas communication
