[VoiceOps] Bandwidth vs Inteliquent

Thu Jul 8 03:38:27 EDT 2021

We use everyone... INQT, Thinq, Verizon Wholesale, Bandwidth, Teli,
Flowroute (have credits sitting there).

For SMS and e911 have you tried Teli? their 911 conferencing is a cool
feature. SMS integrations are good been thinking about others but they
allow off-net SMS integrations as well. Teli just was purchased by Thinq
and we really like Thinq for their toll-free origination (they move your
number weekly to the carrier who sends you the most calls so your numbers
can be on-net).

We used to be on Verizon wholesale but had too many issues with codecs
between customers since there is no enforcement. We are happy we moved to
Inteliquent for Origination and all our TNs and porting control. Allows us
to sell SIP trunking and handouts to our clients. Inteliquent also
purchases Acrobits recently and that was our softphone app vendor of choice.

We use Bandwidth for termination, however this past week we had to
temporarily route around them because we had a termination issue. It was
resolved the next day, but that's why we have multiple termination
providers. We did get an RFO and we moved our traffic back. They are
cheaper for termination for us...
