LiveKit's own phone numbers are US only and inbound only, so outbound calls need a third-party SIP trunk, and no 429 or retry guidance was found.\n\n**Telnyx Voice API + MCP.** About $0.007 a minute all-in for US outbound ($0.002 Voice API plus $0.005 termination). x402 and MPP only top up credit, they don't pay per call.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### LiveKit Telephony\n\n1. Ask the operator for a short-lived token with only the `sip.call` grant to dial or transfer. Trunk, dispatch rule and number changes need `sip.admin`\n2. Use a third-party outbound trunk for outbound calls. LiveKit Phone Numbers only receive calls\n3. Set `wait_until_answered` on `CreateSIPParticipant` and read the SIP status on `SipCallError` before retrying. Voicemail answers with 200 OK\n4. Send every request as a JSON POST to `/twirp/livekit.SIP/\u003cMethod\u003e` or `/twirp/livekit.PhoneNumberService/\u003cMethod\u003e` on the project's own host, with `{}` for an empty body\n5. A released number is billed for the whole month, and the free Build allowance is a hard cap after which requests fail\n\n### Telnyx Voice API + MCP\n\n1. Create a Call Control application first. `POST /v2/calls` needs its `connection_id`\n2. Fund a new account through /v2/x402/credit_account or MPP before buying a number, since it starts at zero\n3. Only one media stream or fork runs per call, and starting a fork replaces the websocket stream\n4. Add the Voice API fee and SIP trunking rate together when pricing a call\n5. Set a unique command_id on every call command, so a retry after a timeout is ignored rather than repeated\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, LiveKit Telephony or Telnyx Voice API + MCP?\n\nTelnyx Voice API + MCP scores 74.2 (BB) on agent readiness against LiveKit Telephony's 67.5 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. LiveKit Telephony leads on security \u0026 auth and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do LiveKit Telephony and Telnyx Voice API + MCP need an API key?\n\nLiveKit Telephony needs an API key. Telnyx Voice API + MCP takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call LiveKit Telephony and Telnyx Voice API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for LiveKit Telephony. Telnyx Voice API + MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://api.telnyx.com/v2.\n\n### Are LiveKit Telephony and Telnyx Voice API + MCP open source?\n\nLiveKit Telephony is open source (Proprietary cloud service under LiveKit's Terms of Service. The SIP service (livekit/sip), the protocol definitions, the CLI and the server SDKs are Apache 2.0). No open-source release is listed for Telnyx Voice API + MCP.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/livekit-telephony-vs-telnyx-voice.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/livekit-telephony-vs-telnyx-voice.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"livekit-telephony\", \"b\": \"telnyx-voice\"}`.
