Twilio's chat SDKs https://www.twilio.com/ip-messaging

Notify has two unique components compared to other tools in the market. First it is multi-channel- you can send push yes, but also global SMS and notifications into messaging apps like Facebook Messenger, Viber, and WeChat. Second, Notify provides orchestrations- fan out, fall back (push first then SMS if not received), notify on last active or current active device, etc. The fact that Twilio acts as a registrar is something that was highly requested from our customer base.

Ha! :) I work at Twilio. In a comparison between the 2: I think are orchestrations are more sophisticated than WUPHF, but we are lacking fax support...

Hi Ben, I work at Twilio with Notify. Thank you for the feedback. We recently started auto-generating our helper libraries (before it was a manual process.) This let's us ship new products and new features into all of our supported languages very quickly. It also opens up the opportunity to add additional languages. I'd love to hear more about languages you'd like to see (sounds like Go is important, others?) and hear more about how you are using Twilio to see if we have a better solution for you.

Hi, I work at Twilio and can answer questions about Notify. Notify is predominantly a REST API you could access through server-side helper libraries in your favorite language. We have SDKs for Notify as well that provide additional functionality (like the ability to notify the user on the device they were last active one.)

To associate a number (or push registration) with a user you create a "binding"
