  thanks for the options! at enterprise scale, is twilio still the most reliable? happy to try other options but i want to abstract out the cpaas layer as much as possible and focus on building performing agents.

  reliability and scalability is critical to me

  I have been looking into solutions since their HIPAA requirements require an enterprise plan. I have not tried yet but AWS has Chime SDK.

      Yes, in the enterprise tier. Very expensive.
