The DIDHub Alternative to Voxbone (now Bandwidth)
Voxbone was a Belgian global DID provider acquired by Bandwidth in 2020 and folded into Bandwidth's enterprise telephony platform. The self-serve developer-friendly motion that Voxbone built its name on largely got absorbed into Bandwidth's enterprise sales process. DIDHub picks up where Voxbone left off — self-serve, global, transparent.
Why teams switch from Voxbone (now Bandwidth) to DIDHub
- Voxbone is now Bandwidth. The standalone Voxbone product is gone. New Voxbone-style customers go through Bandwidth's enterprise sales process — sales call, contract, account team.
- Sales-led onboarding. Bandwidth's enterprise model means a quote, a demo, a security review, and a signed contract before you provision your first number.
- Per-channel pricing complexity. Bandwidth pricing has historically been per-DID + per-channel + per-minute, with negotiated discounts. DIDHub: flat per-DID + per-minute, published on each country page.
- Limited AI voice platform partnerships. Bandwidth has carrier-grade infrastructure but isn't doing one-click BYOC integration with AI voice platforms the way self-serve carriers are.
- Bandwidth is US-strong; SMB-global is harder. Bandwidth has world-class US infrastructure but for an SMB needing a German DID, an Israeli DID, and a Brazilian DID on the same account, the friction is higher.

FAQ
Is Voxbone still a thing?
The Voxbone brand is largely retired. Bandwidth (the parent) operates the underlying network and continues to serve enterprise customers; standalone Voxbone-style self-serve isn't really there anymore.
Why isn't Bandwidth a fit for SMBs anymore?
Bandwidth is excellent for large customers with dedicated procurement teams. The minimums, contract review, and quote process aren't a fit for an SMB or AI voice startup that wants to provision their first DID today.
Can I port Voxbone-issued numbers to DIDHub?
Yes. Voxbone-allocated numbers (now under Bandwidth's OCN) port out via standard LNP processes. Most ports complete in 2-4 weeks.
Does DIDHub have similar global coverage to Voxbone?
Yes — DIDHub serves 136 countries with dedicated landing pages, broader than Voxbone's historical footprint.
