Bandwidth believes standard support should always be included. Instead of tacking on an additional fee for support, like Twilio, Bandwidth brings white glove support to every customer with pride, and we have some of the industry’s greatest minds on staff to help our customers with innovative new ideas and navigating industry guidelines. Need even more dedicated support? We have premium options available on top of our best-in-class signature support.
Because Bandwidth owns our own nationwide VoIP network and is a Tier 1 messaging aggregator, we have direct connections to carriers and pricing that Twilio can’t match. The more calls you make and messages you send to your opted-in users, the more you save. With Bandwidth, you’re getting the advantage of owner economics. And on top of that, we provide white glove support for free to all of our customers.
Twilio often cites 90%+ message deliverability but doesn’t explain how they got you that number, often estimating the rate of delivery to the carrier only. Bandwidth goes deeper into message delivery insights to let you know if the message actually reached the end user.
Our nationwide CLEC VoIP network means we have top-notch call quality and less call transfers, meaning fewer chances for dropped calls. We can also troubleshoot quality issues directly thanks to our network ownership, providing our customers with the best quality possible. Twilio is not a network owner and must pass traffic through various third-party carriers, causing more dropped calls, bad call quality, and an inability to directly troubleshoot the problems.
Yes! Bandwidth’s industry-leading phone number management application makes it easy to port your existing numbers from your current carrier to Bandwidth. Our team of dedicated porting experts will even work with you to overcome any issues and make sure the experience is as smooth and happy as possible.
We work with all types of customers. Our typical customer is looking to scale and wants the power and flexibility that comes with working with a provider that owns the network and an API platform. While Twilio is great for companies that are just starting out and need to quickly get to market, our platform offers more control and direct-to-carrier pricing that Twilio can’t.
Our dedicated team of onboarding and migration specialists are here to help you during the migration process. Our APIs align closely with Twilio’s, making the process relatively painless. You can learn more by downloading our Twilio Migration Guide.
Yes. You can access our developer documentation at https://dev.bandwidth.com at any time.
The companies that best fit Bandwidth currently are larger enterprises with in-house development resources that want greater control and customization ability over every aspect of your users’ experience. When out-of-the-box tools become too constraining, we’re the platform you graduate to.
When it comes to what volume we can handle, we bring a carrier-grade network to the table, so the higher your throughput, the more it will make sense for you to choose Bandwidth. Since we’re our own carrier and aren’t paying a third party network mark-up fee we’re able to give you an excellent cost per call.
