05/27/2025, 2:47 PMUsing Twilio offers flexible, multi-channel integration voice, SMS, via APIs and is easier to pair with Vapi, but may introduce latency and reliability issues. Direct SIP integration with RingCentral is more reliable and lower-latency, but requires deeper technical expertise and offers less flexibility.

05/27/2025, 5:58 PMRing Central doesn't offer SIP termination URI or a dedicated SIP server for each customer. Their SIP trunking services are designed to work with shared infrastructure, which may not provide the isolation required for reliable IP-based authentication in shared environments like Vapi's. so is that still recommended?
