Free trial FAQs
There are some limitations on your free trial account that are removed once you upgrade to a paid account:
For text messages:
- US customers can't send from trial toll-free numbers until they've completed toll-free verification. They can send to the Twilio Virtual Phone.
- Messages begin with “Sent from a Twilio trial account”
- You can only send messages to non-Twilio phone numbers you’ve verified with Twilio
- You cannot send messages using an alphanumeric sender ID
For phone calls:
- A short trial message plays before your TwiML runs that asks you to press any key to proceed with the call itself
- Calls are limited to 10 minutes
- As a security measure, any non-Twilio phone numbers you want to place calls to or receive inbound calls from must be verified first, or the call will fail.
- You can use either your Twilio number or a verified caller ID as your “from” number
- You may make international calls from your trial account with GA and Public Beta phone numbers
For SIP trunking:
- 1 unique SIP trunk
- 1 origination phone number
- 1 Trunking termination call per second (CPS)
- 4 concurrent calls
If you run out of free credits and you want to continue using your Twilio account, you will need to upgrade to a paid account. You can do that by visiting the billing page in the Console and providing payment information like a credit card or Paypal account. Then, you’ll be able to buy credits or choose to have Twilio automatically add funds to your account when you fall below a set balance.
You can upgrade to a paid account at any time. All you need to do is provide payment information like a credit card or Paypal account.
Once your payment information is added, you can choose to buy credits or have Twilio automatically add funds to your account when you fall below a set balance.
When you upgrade to a paid Twilio account, you can use your same credentials to create accounts with SendGrid and Segment to take advantage of our email platform and Customer Data Platform.
