Has anyone here used Telnyx? I tried to build a product against their API last year and 3 weeks after signing up they banned my account and made it impossible to get an answer as to why or re-enable it.
I believe Telnyx and Twilio nuked every small or personal accounts at some point because they couldn't risk those being used for spam or scams.
There might have been some real risks for them, IDK.
But it is ironic that now Telnyx brand itself as an AI company but they couldn't detect that I am just calling some family once in a while and not involved in massive spam campaign.
The only one who kept me around was voip.ms but it literally doesn't work.
I am still looking for a decent VoIP provider to simply make calls.
I tried, but they used some 3rd party KYC platform whose country selection dropdown seemed to have every country except Finland (even Åland, a region of Finland, was there).
I've had a pretty good experience using it to send SMS. Any chance you didn't get a 10DLC or toll free verification and tried to send too many messages?
I did, they asked me to open a support ticket, which I did, and the last response I got was:
> We've reviewed the details you provided and updated your case with the necessary information. It is now being routed to the appropriate team for further support.
The last time I applied for a credit card (about 4 years ago) in Australia, the bank used an app that read the photo page and chip of my passport to verify that it was a real document. That process does verify the authenticity of the document.
There are IDs in Australia which can be verified this way. There are also more than enough accepted IDs that can not, rendering such verification mechanisms rather pointless.
On another note, it's important to keep in mind that this is really the bank's problem. It's not something consumers should worry about.
I’ve been playing around with Zed, supports local and cloud models, really fast, nice UX. It does lack some of the deeper features of VSCode/Cursor but very capable.
Service account file vs API Key have similar security risks if provided the way you are using them. Google recommends using ADC and it’s actually an org policy recommendation to disable SA files.
ADC (Application Default Credentials) is a specification for finding credentials (1. look here 2. look there etc.) not an alternative for credentials. Using ADC one can e.g. find an SA file.
As a replacement for SA files one can have e.g. user accounts using SA impersonation, external identity providers, or run on GCP VM or GKE and use built-in identities.
