Could you build this?
Partial While the front-end dashboard, client apps, and billing can be vibe-coded, telecommunications infrastructure requires integrating with carrier CPaaS APIs (e.g., Twilio, Telnyx) and managing complex compliance like 10DLC registration and international telephony routing.
What it would actually take: A production version requires integrating WebRTC client SDKs with backend telephony providers like Twilio or Telnyx for DID provisioning, SIP trunking, and PSTN gateway bridging. The challenging aspects are managing real-time low-latency audio packet delivery, regulatory carrier compliance (A2P 10DLC, KYC, E911), and reliable mobile push wake-up hooks for VoIP across iOS and Android.
