More layers between you and the network. Carrier capacity is sourced through third parties, adding cost and reducing infrastructure-level control.

I started with Retell AI, then tried ElevenLabs and Twilio directly, but the response latency was too high. I’d say something and wait a second for a reply, which feels terrible for a phone agent. Then I tried Telnyx. With the voice AI models and telephony running on the same infrastructure, the response was incredibly fast. That speed was one of the main things that sold me.

Use your AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) to migrate from Twilio to Telnyx easily. The Telnyx Twilio Migration skill runs a complete 6-phase migration: discovery, planning, setup, code migration, validation, and cleanup. Available for Python, JavaScript, Go, Java, and Ruby.

Most "AI voice platforms" stitch together best-in-class vendors, but that's the problem. When anything breaks, you open 5 support tickets, and wait.
Telnyx owns and operates the entire stack, from carrier network to inference, to voices.
One system. One team. No finger pointing.
Built for bots that talk to humans.
Get started with your migration in just a few minutes.
Telnyx is the better Twilio alternative for several reasons: we own and operate our carrier network as a licensed carrier, our pricing is transparent and typically 40-60% lower, our AI voice stack is built natively on the same network, and our 24/7 support is included at no extra cost. One platform, one bill, one team.
