I just got a 502 Bad Gateway trying to look at their homepage to find out what it is they do.

I just got a 502 Bad Gateway trying to look at their homepage to find out what it is they do.
- goshx 5y agoPhone services for other carriers and companies, like DIDs (phone numbers), SIP trunks, SMS, and 911.
- posguy 5y agoRingCentral, Nextiva, Microsoft Teams Voice (fully dependent on Bandwidth.com), Google Voice, Vonage (for a subset of numbers), and most wholesalers have some or all phone numbers on Bandwidth.com
- toast0 5y agoBandwidth is a major wholesaling VoIP provider. If you're using a VoIP or other non-traditional phone service provider that isn't big enough to directly interconnect with incumbent carriers, they likely work with Bandwidth (and possibly others).
- goshx 5y agoEven big enough ones, like RingCentral.
- posguy 5y agoRCLEC (RingCentral's CLEC) does not seem to host the majority of RingCentral's numbers despite being fully capable of doing so, RingCentral seem to sprinkle their numbers across Onvoy & Bandwidth.com if memory serves. Makes for some really fun port out requests, when a client with 6 numbers has those numbers sprinkled across 3 or 4 different underlying telecoms despite RingCentral generating one unified bill for their service.
- RKearney 5y agoThat must be why 99% of the SMS spam I receive comes back to Bandwidth as the carrier. On the bright side, I haven't gotten any spam in the last hour or so.
