V2 Voice API Features Guide

Bandwidth has launched its new set of APIs for Voice! These APIs provide the same basic functionality for Voice that our V1 Voice APIs provided, but with 6-second billing and full integration into Bandwidth’s primary portal, the Bandwidth Dashboard. This allows for simpler, easier use alongside Bandwidth’s advanced number management, messaging, and 911 services, and provides a smarter, more cost-effective way for enterprises to scale their API-driven voice communications.
