How do I see blocked SMS pumping attempts and cost savings?

Objective

This article shows you where Messaging Insights reports on SMS Pumping Protection — how many fraudulent send attempts were blocked, what that saved you, and which origin countries the attempts came from.

 

Product

Programmable Messaging

 

Environment

Twilio Console

 

Procedure

  1. In the Twilio Console, select Communications in the left sidebar.
  2. Select Messaging, then Insights.
  3. Select the Risk and Fraud tab.
  4. Read the SMS Pumping Protection header, which shows the total blocked SMS pumping attempts for the selected window.
  5. Review the metric cards beneath it:
  6. Successfully Sent — messages sent after scanning.
  7. Total Messages Sent
  8. Estimated total cost savings (USD) — your net saving after the total charge is deducted.
  9. Estimated saving rate (%)
  10. SMS pumping spend prevented (USD)
  11. SMS pumping prevention cost (USD) — the charges for using SMS Pumping Protection.
  12. Total charge (USD)
  13. Covered by Twilio (USD)
  14. Review the Messages scanned by SMS Pumping Protection chart for the trend across the window.
  15. Scroll to SMS pumping protection by origin countries for the geographic map, and read the Top countries with SMS pumping list beside it, which ranks countries in order.
  16. Use the control on the map card to switch what the map and the ranked list measure, between Total blocked SMS pumping attempts and Estimated total cost savings.

 

Additional Information

  • SMS Pumping Protection is an add-on. If it is not enabled on your account, the tab shows Unlock SMS Pumping Protection with a Learn how to use SMS Pumping Protection link instead of the metrics.
  • Every figure follows the date range and the other filters at the top of the page, so a wider range increases both the blocked count and the reported savings.
  • Select Download CSV on the metrics card to export the metric names and values.
  • If the map data cannot be loaded, the map section shows Something went wrong while the metric cards continue to render.
  • When there is no blocking or savings data for the window, the map legend reads No Blocking Attempts Found or No Estimated Savings Found depending on which measure is selected.
