User Testimonials
	Bandwidth	Global Message Services (GMS)
Likelihood to Recommend	Bandwidth Bandwidth covers the majority of areas where we had customers. However, there are still some areas we would have like to see them cover for calls. They cover more areas than our other carriers, but they did surprise us from time to time by an inability to be able to deliver call transport.

Pros	Bandwidth Bandwidth has great customer service. They are all friendly and super helpful. They are innovative and constantly updating their APIs, UIs, and products they offer. Their UI and API are user friendly and intuitive. Incentivized Tamara Foster Telecom Manager Read full review	Global Message Services (GMS) No answers on this topic
Cons	Bandwidth Their dashboard is lacking. We would love to see some additional graphing components, live traffic views, etc. Their E911 infrastructure is still separate, making things a bit complex to provision endpoints and manage them. SMS/MMS is a little behind competitors like Twilio, but still usable and very reliable.

Alternatives Considered	Bandwidth Their pricing is tough to beat, the reliability is great. And then add a few more positive things, like the tools and customer support, and that makes it a no-brainer.

Return on Investment	Bandwidth We found Bandwidth to be very easy to work with and they grew as we grew. Their pricing was very competitive and they were always willing to take another look at their pricing for us.
