Twilio Elastic SIP Trunking → Vobiz SIP Trunking

Twilio models a SIP trunk as a container (trunking.v1.trunks) that you decorate with origination URLs, credential lists, and IP access control lists - but the credential lists and IP ACLs actually live in a different API namespace (api.v2010.account.sip.*) and are only associated with the trunk by SID. Vobiz collapses that split: every trunking concept is a first-class, typed SDK resource - trunks, credentials, ip_access_control_list, and origination_uri - all account-scoped by an explicit auth_id. Migration is a resource-for-resource rename plus dropping the cross-namespace association dance.

AUTH_ID is your Vobiz Auth ID (MA_…) and AUTH_TOKEN your Auth Token. In the Vobiz SDK, api_key is the Auth ID (sent as X-Auth-ID) and auth_token is sent as X-Auth-Token. Every trunking method takes auth_id explicitly. Base URL: https://api.vobiz.ai/api/v1.

Create a trunk

Termination (outbound) and origination (inbound) both hang off one trunk object. In Vobiz you also set the concurrency cap right here.

from twilio.rest import Client

client = Client(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN)

trunk = client.trunking.v1.trunks.create(
    friendly_name="My Outbound Trunk",
    domain_name="my-company.pstn.twilio.com",
)
print(trunk.sid)

from vobiz import Vobiz

client = Vobiz(api_key=AUTH_ID, auth_token=AUTH_TOKEN)

trunk = client.trunks.create_trunk(
    auth_id=AUTH_ID,
    name="My Outbound Trunk",
    trunk_type="OUTBOUND",
    max_concurrent_calls=10,
)
print(trunk)

import { VobizClient } from '@vobiz/sdk';

const client = new VobizClient({ apiKey: AUTH_ID, authToken: AUTH_TOKEN });

const trunk = await client.trunks.createTrunk(AUTH_ID, {
  name: 'My Outbound Trunk',
  trunk_type: 'OUTBOUND',
  max_concurrent_calls: 10,
});

Termination auth - credentials and IP allow-lists

This is where the biggest simplification lands. On Twilio you create a credential list in the api.v2010 namespace, add credentials to it, then make a second call to associate the list’s SID with the trunk. Vobiz creates the credential (and the IP rule) as one typed call against the account.

# 1) create the credential list, 2) add a credential, 3) associate with trunk
cl = client.api.v2010.account.sip.credential_lists.create(
    friendly_name="Termination Users",
)
client.api.v2010.account.sip \
    .credential_lists(cl.sid) \
    .credentials.create(username="pbx01", password="S3cur3Pass!")

client.trunking.v1.trunks(trunk.sid) \
    .credentials_lists.create(credential_list_sid=cl.sid)

# one typed call - the credential is account-scoped and usable by your trunk
cred = client.credentials.create_credential(
    auth_id=AUTH_ID,
    username="pbx01",
    password="S3cur3Pass!",
)

# rotate the password later
client.credentials.update_credential(
    auth_id=AUTH_ID,
    credential_id=cred.id,
    password="Rotat3dPass!",
)

const cred = await client.credentials.createCredential(AUTH_ID, {
  username: 'pbx01',
  password: 'S3cur3Pass!',
});

await client.credentials.updateCredential(AUTH_ID, {
  credential_id: cred.id,
  password: 'Rotat3dPass!',
});

Prefer IP-based authentication for a static SBC? Same story - one call instead of three:

al = client.api.v2010.account.sip.ip_access_control_lists.create(
    friendly_name="Datacenter SBCs",
)
client.api.v2010.account.sip \
    .ip_access_control_lists(al.sid) \
    .ip_addresses.create(friendly_name="SBC-1", ip_address="203.0.113.10")

client.trunking.v1.trunks(trunk.sid) \
    .ip_access_control_lists.create(ip_access_control_list_sid=al.sid)

client.ip_access_control_list.create_ip_acl(
    auth_id=AUTH_ID,
    name="SBC-1",
    ip_address="203.0.113.10",
)

await client.ipAccessControlList.createIpAcl(AUTH_ID, {
  name: 'SBC-1',
  ip_address: '203.0.113.10',
});

Origination - where inbound calls are delivered

Twilio’s origination URLs carry weight + priority + enabled. Vobiz’s origination_uri carries a priority; add multiple URIs to get ordered failover (the lowest priority number is tried first), which is exactly how you’d replace a disaster_recovery_url.

client.trunking.v1.trunks(trunk.sid).origination_urls.create(
    friendly_name="Primary SBC",
    sip_url="sip:sbc1.example.com",
    priority=10,
    weight=10,
    enabled=True,
)
client.trunking.v1.trunks(trunk.sid).origination_urls.create(
    friendly_name="Backup SBC",
    sip_url="sip:sbc2.example.com",
    priority=20,   # higher number = tried after primary
    weight=10,
    enabled=True,
)

client.origination_uri.create_origination_uri(
    auth_id=AUTH_ID,
    name="Primary SBC",
    sip_uri="sip:sbc1.example.com",
    priority=1,
)
client.origination_uri.create_origination_uri(
    auth_id=AUTH_ID,
    name="Backup SBC",
    sip_uri="sip:sbc2.example.com",
    priority=2,   # walked after the primary - your disaster-recovery path
)

await client.originationUri.createOriginationUri(AUTH_ID, {
  name: 'Primary SBC',
  sip_uri: 'sip:sbc1.example.com',
  priority: 1,
});

Route a DID through the trunk

Once the trunk is provisioned, point a purchased number at it so inbound PSTN calls follow your origination URIs.

number = client.incoming_phone_numbers.list(phone_number="+14155551234")[0]
client.incoming_phone_numbers(number.sid).update(trunk_sid=trunk.sid)

client.phone_numbers.assign_number_to_trunk(
    auth_id=AUTH_ID,
    phone_number="%2B14155551234",   # URL-encode the leading +
    trunk_group_id=trunk.id,
)

await client.phoneNumbers.assignNumberToTrunk(AUTH_ID, {
  phone_number: '%2B14155551234',
  trunk_group_id: trunk.id,
});

Key differences

Every trunking concept is a typed, top-level SDK resource. trunks, credentials, ip_access_control_list, and origination_uri are first-class clients with full CRUD - no reaching into a separate api.v2010.account.sip.* namespace and then associating SIDs back to the trunk.
One call for termination auth. Creating a SIP credential (or an IP rule) is a single create_credential / create_ip_acl call, versus Twilio’s create-list → add-item → associate-with-trunk three-step.
Concurrency lives on the trunk. max_concurrent_calls is a plain field on create_trunk/update_trunk, so capacity is explicit per trunk and editable in place.
Disaster recovery is just priority. Add lower-priority origination_uri entries and Vobiz walks them in order - the same fallback behaviour as Twilio’s disaster_recovery_url, expressed with the resource you already use for origination.
Consistent account scoping. Every method takes auth_id explicitly, so multi-account and sub-account trunk management is uniform across trunks, credentials, origination_uri, and number assignment.
Auth is header-based. Set X-Auth-ID + X-Auth-Token once on the client instead of HTTP Basic on each request; the same client also drives voice, numbers, and CDRs.
Trunk-call visibility via CDRs. client.cdr.list_cdrs(auth_id, sip_call_id=…) lets you query completed trunk calls - including by SIP Call-ID - from the same SDK.

Migrating call-control flows too? <Gather> covers your IVR menus. See the full Twilio → Vobiz overview for the migration order across trunking, numbers, and voice.
