Bring Your Own Twilio

What is BYOT?

The Problem with Traditional Pricing

Most verification services mark up calling costs 2-5x

Traditional Model

  • Hidden markups on calling costs
  • No visibility into actual costs
  • Vendor lock-in with proprietary systems
  • Unpredictable monthly bills
  • Can't optimize or control costs

Example Cost:

Rs 150-250/call

With hidden markups

Shippley BYOT

  • Pay Twilio directly (no markup)
  • Full cost visibility in Twilio dashboard
  • No vendor lock-in, own your data
  • Predictable, transparent costs
  • Optimize usage, reduce waste

Actual Cost:

BYOT vs Jazz Business API

Why Pakistani stores choose Twilio over local options

Jazz Business API

  • Limited to Jazz numbers only
  • Complex approval process (2-4 weeks)
  • Requires business documents & CNIC
  • No international support
  • Limited API features
  • Rs 3-5/SMS (cheaper for SMS only)

Best for:

SMS-only campaigns to Jazz users

Twilio BYOT

  • Works with all Pakistani networks (Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone)
  • Setup in 5 minutes, no approval needed
  • Just email & credit card
  • Works globally (if you expand)
  • Advanced features (voice, recording, AI)
  • Rs 70/call verification (all networks)

Best for:

COD order verification across all networks

Why we recommend Twilio: With BYOT, you reach 100% of Pakistani mobile users, not just Jazz customers. Fraudsters often use Zong/Telenor numbers, so Jazz-only verification leaves gaps.
