Today, we’re launching VideoSDK Phone Numbers a first-party telephony capability that lets you connect voice agents and calling workflows directly to the phone network, without relying on third-party providers like Twilio.
You can now purchase phone numbers straight from the VideoSDK Dashboard, attach them to your agent or calling logic, and go live in minutes.
No external accounts. No SIP trunk configuration. No extra setup.
Fewer Hops. Better Calls.
Until now, developers building phone-based voice experiences on VideoSDK typically had to:
- Sign up with a third-party telephony provider (like Twilio)
- Purchase and manage phone numbers externally
- Configure SIP trunks and credentials
- Integrate and debug multiple systems before making the first call
By offering native phone numbers directly within VideoSDK, we remove those extra layers and make phone-based voice apps significantly easier to build and operate in just 3 steps.
How It Works
Getting started with VideoSDK Phone Numbers is simple:
1. Buy a Phone Number : Search and purchase available phone numbers directly from the VideoSDK Dashboard.
2. Attach Your Agent or Logic : Associate the phone number with your voice agent or inbound call routing logic so incoming calls are handled automatically.
3. Go Live : Call the number and your agent answers instantly.
Manage numbers, update routing, and monitor usage all from one place.
While this model works, we’ll continue to fully support third-party telephony integrations like twilio, telnyx, pilvo, vonage.
What You Can Build
Phone calls remain critical across many industries. With VideoSDK Phone Numbers, you can spin up phone-based voice agents in minutes for:
- Sales qualification and lead routing
- Order tracking and delivery updates
- Appointment booking and status updates
- Restaurant and service business call automation
If your application involves real-time voice and the phone network, this feature is built for you.b
