SMS Pumping Protection is now generally available

As of 1st April, 2024,  SMS Pumping Protection for Twilio Programmable Messaging is generally available to prevent fraudulent SMS traffic and lower its significant costs. This feature automatically detects messaging traffic driven by SMS pumping and blocks it from being sent.

SMS Pumping Protection requires no configuration. Enable it in the Twilio Console and Twilio will do the rest. 

The performance of the feature can be monitored via existing Messaging Insights & the newly launched SMS Pumping Insights.

To further customize your SMS pumping protection experience, we have also launched RiskCheck and the Global Safelist.
