However, we do have quite a number of differences. On the technical side, we have dedicated hardware for our media, which means that our call qualities are consistently great and drastically increases the number calls which can happen concurrently on our box. Our framework is also written on FreeSwitch, an open-source telephony platform. On the non-technical side offer 24/7 chat support at no extra cost and competitive pricing that just gets better with higher volumes. :)

Definitely like that you guys have your own hardware termination vs where Twilio is just terminating to Level3's gear.

Thanks for the confidence. We think that decoding/encoding of audio on dedicated hardware works best for call quality and we are really focussed on doing that.
