Seems like a good riddance, telnyx is for business usecases, not for personal use.

Such use would be incompatible because it would lure in fraud, which would ruin the reputation of shared comms resources like ip blocks, phone number blocks, etc..

If you are doing real business, you are providing KYC as a daily matter in procurement, thereby protecting consumers from Sybil scum.

No? Firstly you can't do a Sybil attack when each identity costs actual resources, and secondly you can still have lots of phone numbers, they just know who each one belongs to.
