US outbound at $0.014 a minute, plus $0.0044 for Media Streams or $0.07 for ConversationRelay.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP\n\n1. Use `\u003cConnect\u003e\u003cStream\u003e` for two-way audio. It blocks further TwiML until the websocket closes\n2. Use `\u003cConnect\u003e\u003cConversationRelay\u003e` when you only want to handle text, and set `interruptible` for barge-in\n3. Trial calls reach only verified numbers in your sign-up country\n4. Retry a 429 with backoff, but check the Calls list before retrying a create that timed out, since there's no idempotency key\n5. Validate `X-Twilio-Signature` on every webhook and websocket upgrade\n\n## Other comparisons with Telnyx Voice API + MCP or Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP\n\n- [Bandwidth Voice API + MCP vs Telnyx Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bandwidth-voice-vs-telnyx-voice.md)\n- [Bandwidth Voice API + MCP vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bandwidth-voice-vs-twilio-voice.md)\n- [Exotel Voice API + MCP vs Telnyx Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/exotel-voice-vs-telnyx-voice.md)\n- [Exotel Voice API + MCP vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/exotel-voice-vs-twilio-voice.md)\n- [Infobip Calls API + MCP vs Telnyx Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/infobip-calls-vs-telnyx-voice.md)\n- [Infobip Calls API + MCP vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/infobip-calls-vs-twilio-voice.md)\n- [Plivo Voice API vs Telnyx Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/plivo-voice-vs-telnyx-voice.md)\n- [Plivo Voice API vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/plivo-voice-vs-twilio-voice.md)\n- [SignalWire Voice API vs Telnyx Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/signalwire-voice-vs-telnyx-voice.md)\n- [SignalWire Voice API vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/signalwire-voice-vs-twilio-voice.md)\n- [Sinch Voice API + MCP vs Telnyx Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/sinch-voice-vs-telnyx-voice.md)\n- [Sinch Voice API + MCP vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/sinch-voice-vs-twilio-voice.md)\n- [Telnyx Voice API + MCP vs Vonage Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/telnyx-voice-vs-vonage-voice.md)\n- [Telnyx Voice API + MCP vs Voximplant](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/telnyx-voice-vs-voximplant.md)\n- [Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP vs Vonage Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/twilio-voice-vs-vonage-voice.md)\n- [Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP vs Voximplant](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/twilio-voice-vs-voximplant.md)\n",
