Verdicts
DIDWW Voice and Number Management API
An OpenAPI 3.0.3 document with 107 operations, Markdown docs, a free sandbox and SDKs in seven languages cover number ordering and SIP trunk set-up. No per-number or per-minute price is public, API keys carry no scopes, orders have no idempotency key, and outbound calling needs an approved application. Calls travel over SIP only.
jambonz
OpenAPI 3.1 and AsyncAPI documents, an llms.txt and Markdown pages cover the REST and WebSocket APIs, and session prices are public. No status page, security.txt or advisory was found, API keys carry no scopes, and the 2021 privacy policy says audio is never stored while the October 2026 release notes say support keeps call audio for a few days.
Before you call either
DIDWW Voice and Number Management API
- Send

X-DIDWW-API-Version: 2026-04-16on each request and readmeta.api_versionin the reply. A header older than the account's version is ignored - Before retrying a timed-out
POST /orders, listGET /ordersfirst. The order is charged to the balance at once and no idempotency key exists - Stay under 20 requests a second per key. On
429wait before retrying, since noRetry-Afterheader is documented - Use
fields[...],filter[...],includeandpage[size](default 50, maximum 100) to keep JSON:API replies small - Check
GET /address_requirementsbefore buying a number. Many countries need a verified identity and address, and the sandbox cannot run identity verification - Create and enable a callback secret in the User Panel before relying on callbacks. Without one nothing is sent, and receivers must verify
