In your analogy it would be more like paying someone to mow your lawn because your neighbour got it done for $10, then being charged $100 because your house number is even.

It might be in the terms and conditions, but it’s bad faith to not give any warnings or controls before the services are rendered.

Except in that metaphor every service on your property costs 10x the price and it's a well known fact.

if they mow your lawn 10 times in a row and bill you 10 times... you should charge back 9 of them

Is that what's happening? You ask twilio to send one text and they send ten?
