Our private global IP network was purpose-built for real-time communications, so your calls are crystal clear and secure, with low latency.
The internet wasn’t built for real-time communications, and it shows—with high latency, packet loss, and poor security.
We control our infrastructure, so we control routing, quality and traffic for high-quality calls and low post-dial delay.
Using other providers’ servers and middlemen for routing and telephony leads to persistent routing and quality issues.
We use an edge-stack approach to route your data via the closest server to your application to deliver market-leading latency.
Greater reliance on the public internet and less control over core communications functionality significantly increases latency.

Frequently Asked Questions
A voice API is a tool that software developers use to make and receive phone calls using an Application Programming Interface (API). A voice API connects internet-based applications to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
To get started, sign up for a Portal account, then follow the 4 remaining steps in our quickstart guide to create an application, buy a number, assign it to your app and create an outbound voice profile. Then, use our SDKs to start building.
Yes, you can use the Telnyx voice API to record calls using the record_start command. You’ll find code snippets to help you do this quickly and easily in our developer center.
Absolutely. Text-to-speech allows you to convert text to speech and play it back on the call. We leverage Amazon Polly to provide a conversational experience, available across 29 languages and accents. You can find out how to use the speak_text command in our developer center.
You can find pricing for Call Control on our pricing page. Telnyx offers even greater discounts as you scale, or when you’re ready to commit to monthly usage—talk to our sales team about custom pricing.
You can! We’ve developed a tool called TeXML Translator to make it easy for you to use your XML based applications with the Telnyx voice API. Follow the TeXML setup guide in our developer center to get started.
You can build a range of different applications using the Telnyx voice API—these include call tracking, cloud IVR, contact center and conference calling, to name a few.
While phone calls made using a voice API can be powered over the internet, they also rely on a VoIP network to be completed. WebRTC calls are solely focused on browser-based communication. Learn more about Telnyx’s WebRTC solution.
