Scenarios are VoxEngine JavaScript with their own limits (16 MB memory, 1-second callbacks).\n\n## Before you call either\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### Voximplant\n\n1. Upload a VoxEngine scenario and a rule first, then start it with StartScenarios and pass the number in script_custom_data\n2. Use a service-account JWT rather than api_key in the URL\n3. Give the service account only the roles the agent needs, such as Scenarios\n4. Ask support to lift the 20-cent destination block before calling expensive routes\n\n## Other comparisons with Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP or Voximplant\n\n- [Bandwidth Voice API + MCP vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bandwidth-voice-vs-twilio-voice.md)\n- [Bandwidth Voice API + MCP vs Voximplant](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bandwidth-voice-vs-voximplant.md)\n- [Exotel Voice API + MCP vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/exotel-voice-vs-twilio-voice.md)\n- [Exotel Voice API + MCP vs Voximplant](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/exotel-voice-vs-voximplant.md)\n- [Infobip Calls API + MCP vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/infobip-calls-vs-twilio-voice.md)\n- [Infobip Calls API + MCP vs Voximplant](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/infobip-calls-vs-voximplant.md)\n- [Plivo Voice API vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/plivo-voice-vs-twilio-voice.md)\n- [Plivo Voice API vs Voximplant](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/plivo-voice-vs-voximplant.md)\n- [SignalWire Voice API vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/signalwire-voice-vs-twilio-voice.md)\n- [SignalWire Voice API vs Voximplant](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/signalwire-voice-vs-voximplant.md)\n- [Sinch Voice API + MCP vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/sinch-voice-vs-twilio-voice.md)\n- [Sinch Voice API + MCP vs Voximplant](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/sinch-voice-vs-voximplant.md)\n- [Telnyx Voice API + MCP vs Twilio Programmable Voice API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/telnyx-voice-vs-twilio-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- [Vonage Voice API + MCP vs Voximplant](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/vonage-voice-vs-voximplant.md)\n",
