[Twilio Voice](https://www.twilio.com/en-us/voice) is a powerful cloud communications platform that enables businesses to make, receive, and manage phone calls programmatically through a simple API.
Twilio Voice provides a robust API for building sophisticated voice applications with global reach. With coverage in over 100 countries, carrier-grade reliability, and a 99.95% uptime SLA, Twilio has established itself as the industry leader in programmable voice communications.
Key features of Twilio Voice include:
- **Global Voice Network**: Make and receive calls worldwide with local phone numbers in multiple countries
- **Programmable Call Control**: Use TwiML to control call flow, record conversations, gather DTMF input, and implement IVR systems
- **Advanced Capabilities**: Speech recognition, text-to-speech, call forwarding, conferencing, and answering machine detection
- **Real-time Analytics**: Track call quality, duration, costs, and optimize your voice applications
In Sim, the Twilio Voice integration enables your agents to leverage these powerful voice capabilities as part of their workflows. This creates opportunities for sophisticated customer engagement scenarios like appointment reminders, verification calls, automated support lines, and interactive voice response systems. The integration bridges the gap between your AI workflows and voice communication channels, enabling your agents to deliver timely, relevant information directly through phone calls. By connecting Sim with Twilio Voice, you can create intelligent agents that engage customers through their preferred communication channel, enhancing the user experience while automating routine calling tasks.
