Summary

For businesses considering a switch from Twilio to another CPaaS provider, this guide outlines key steps and considerations to ensure a smooth transition. Common reasons to leave Twilio include cost inefficiencies, scalability issues, and insufficient technical support. To begin the migration process, companies should first identify and document differences in API functionalities among various providers, focusing on areas such as call state events, message events, and database changes. Once these differences are understood, businesses can scope necessary adjustments before implementing changes, a process that can take from a week to a month depending on the complexity of the migration. The guide emphasizes the importance of detail-oriented execution and clean coding practices for a stable transition and suggests Bandwidth as a potential alternative, highlighting its support and expertise in facilitating seamless digital communication experiences.
