Platform Overview

Telnyx is a cloud communications platform providing:

• SMS/MMS — programmatic text messaging
• Voice — outbound/inbound calls via Call Control API or TeXML
• AI Assistants — voice bots that answer and make phone calls
• SIP Trunking — connecting PBX or softphone systems to the PSTN
• WebRTC — browser/mobile calling via @telnyx/webrtc SDK
• Phone Numbers — purchase, port, and manage DID/toll-free numbers
• Number Intelligence — lookup line type, CNAM, carrier
• Cloud Storage — S3-compatible object storage for recordings and media

Key concept — Connections: A Connection is the routing layer between your phone numbers and your application. All calls and messages flow through a Connection. Three connection types:

• Call Control Connection — for programmatic voice (Call Control API / TeXML)
• Fax Connection — for fax (not covered here)
• IP/SIP Connection — for SIP trunking

Numbers are assigned to one Connection. Messages are routed via a Messaging Profile.
