Just don't let AT&T support and/or reputation ruin you.

There are few companies I hate to the degree I hate AT&T. This is based upon repeated, personal experience as well as the way they have ripped off the citizens of my state, amongst others, and fought by hook and by crook to stifle broadband Internet competition and thereby adequate and improving Internet availability and performance.

I'll add that if you are acquired by them, you will want to plan your exits, as remaining under AT&T senior management will, in my estimation, lead to thoughts of self-harm and suicide.

Yes, strong words. Did I mention that I hate them, and that in my opinion they have given very good cause for this?

P.S. I should mention that this is the AT&T of today, which is essentially the rebranded SBC. To distinguish it from the AT&T of yore.

P.P.S. I'm just one "schmuck" out here relating my own sentiment, I realize. And I don't want to rain on your parade. But I guess I won't delete my comment; I have some serious concern about the influence a close association with AT&T may end up having on Twilio. (As well, I guess, I don't think AT&T really deserves you -- not that that's a very practical business position.)
