Bandwidth.com is a CLEC. My company resells their numbers and service for VoIP communication. The whole company utilizes Bandwidth.com, but I interface mainly with phone numbers including number porting. We are able to order and port numbers through BW and resell to our customers. They have contacts and communication with other CLEC and LEC carriers to be able to port amongst each other.
Pros
Bandwidth has great customer service. They are all friendly and super helpful.
They are innovative and constantly updating their APIs, UIs, and products they offer.
Their UI and API are user friendly and intuitive.
Cons
They are actively working on this, but they currently are not able to work with third party SMS providers to separate voice and SMS. There are many companies that offer an SMS product for dental, medical, etc. offices so our customers have increasing requests to use a third party.
Likelihood to Recommend
For telecommunications: porting, new numbers, SMS, toll-free, and voice.
We use them extensively for call origination, termination, e911, Dynamic 911, SMS (SMPP), and CNAM lookup. We use them as a provider that handles all of these things for our customers. They provide a reliable service that we are able to leverage.
Pros
Tremendous support.
Reliable product.
Great tooling/dashboard.
Pricing is great.
Cons
24/7 support is lacking.
They prefer working over email.
Not always very transparent.
Likelihood to Recommend
When needing a wholesale product, and a reasonable price, they are very good. I might not recommend them if a guaranteed termination product was required.
