FAQ

Will my 2FA codes arrive if Twilio is down?
No, if the application sending your 2FA codes uses Twilio and Twilio's SMS service is down, you won't receive the code. This is why security experts recommend using authenticator apps (like Google Authenticator or Authy) as your primary 2FA method rather than SMS-based codes.
Are my queued messages sent after Twilio recovers?
Messages submitted to Twilio's API are typically queued and delivered once service is restored, but delivery order and timing are not guaranteed. Messages that failed at the API level (returned an error) will need to be re-sent by your application. Check your Twilio message logs for delivery status.
Does a Twilio outage affect WhatsApp Business messages?
Yes, if you send WhatsApp messages through Twilio's API, those messages will be affected by a Twilio outage. WhatsApp itself may be working fine, but the Twilio-to-WhatsApp bridge won't function. Direct WhatsApp messaging is not impacted by Twilio's status.
How can I build redundancy for critical Twilio workflows?
For mission-critical communications, configure a secondary SMS provider like Vonage, Plivo, or Amazon SNS. Implement automatic failover in your application code that switches providers when Twilio returns errors. For 2FA specifically, offer authenticator app options alongside SMS.
