    Telynx couldn't perform half of the functions, and their customer service was wildly frustrating. It's one thing if the service just isn't fit, but their customer service was calling me & emailing daily to work on "fixes" to make the product work for me. I finally had to say, …

    Telnyx is well suited for general phone number provisioning as they have a large pool to choose from. There is certainly room to grow with fax troubleshooting.

    We have found them to be very good for immediate communication of a brief message to a large number of people at once. Thus, it works perfectly for a neighborhood association. It may not be suitable for longer messages or situations with excessive notifications.

    Pros
    Telnyx
    • Price Matters for the flourishing organization like us. Telnyx [is] affordable to us.
    • Telnyx is very generous in terms of providing regular updates through webinar , free credits, real time support . One most important is that they are not in hurry of closing the account because of minus balance.
    • Telnyx Portal is pretty easy to navigate and manage the customized settings.
    • Among other giant SIP providers I found Telnyx with very modern and humble customer approach.

    • Scheduled delivery: works as it should every time and is SUPER convenient.
    • Mass contact upload: I was able to pull a report to excel and it loaded PERFECTLY to ‘Contacts’
    • Feedback: if anyone doesn’t get the message, I will know almost immediately.

    Cons
    Telnyx
    • Number testing: Currently I need to call our fax numbers manually to confirm fax tones. It would be useful to test numbers in bulk from the portal.
    • Troubleshooting: Currently, samples are needed for each fax transmission when there are issues. And those samples need to be within 24-48 hours. It would be useful if Telnyx could do a health check out proactively to gather information on high failure counts prior to customer reports.
    • Transparency with system issues: We've run into scenarios where we wanted information on system-wide fax failures, but when the issues were resolved we didn't get root cause analysis.

    • My initial concern was regarding the "opt out" feature. I work with the senior population, and many of whom are not that tech-savvy. I have a couple of residents who had unintentionally opted out of messages thinking it was an individual message they were skipping. I would suggest that there be a clarifying question when a user chooses to opt out; it should default to opting out of a single message and survey the user to see if they would like to opt out of receiving additional messages. My residents were wondering why they were missing information and why I hadn't informed them of important dates and events.

    Text-Em-All is a great way to get messages to our associates versus posting on a memo board and hoping they see it. Very efficient. I would recommend this great tool to companies big or small as a form of business related communications. The only thing I would change is the ability to use more characters in the messages. And it would be a plus if you can translate to different languages in the app.

    Usability
    Telnyx
    They utilize a private IP network back end that makes SIP configuration for inter-carrier operation difficult because they assume that projecting their private network outside is ok.

    It's fantastic. In general, it's a 10. But I give it a 7 because of the way I know it can improve. I save my workers' names in lists...and I have only the first and last name fields to classify them. I grade my workers based on their experiences and based on their jobs; so I use the last name field to group them. This could be easier by you adding another field.

    They are providing services using a Freeswitch system behind a NAT router and they expect carriers to deal with their NAT network. Their support team does not seem to understand that problems caused by exposing a NAT switch to the Internet at large.

    This was the best way we were able to reach out to everyone we wanted to, being that there were some not tech-sabi elderly people. This was a better way for them to be able to get the information they needed.

    Easy of use and better prices. Outstanding customer service. Variety of services in telecommunication needs. Easy use of interface even for not experienced users. Migration of SIP numbers is easier. Reporting is very easy to use and customizable for our specific needs, so we can keep track of costs in an easy way

    Our last provider was costly for what we needed. We need the ability to text, and that's it. The sense was challenging to navigate; I had to sign a one-year contract and pay thousands upfront. Text-em-all has been the best thing.

    Return on Investment

    • Due to easy SIP truncation the cost of customer approach has become very convenient internationally. We got a so much scaling to play on large customer base. And large base makes sense of large positive ROI.

    • We definitely have a higher response rate when we contact applicants via text message; it seems to be the thing people check more often than email now.
    • It saves us a lot of time wasted before with "phone tag" when employees are unable to immediately to take a call.
