Run your whole phone system
on Twilio or Telnyx.
The carrier console is a developer tool. TelBuddy is the front desk on top of it: phone menus, forwarding, voicemail, business hours, call queues, a shared SMS inbox, and an optional Twilio AI receptionist or Telnyx AI receptionist, all from one clean dashboard.
Not for you if you do not already have a Twilio or Telnyx account, or if your phone system is custom Studio or TaskRouter.
Visual IVR / Phone Menu
Build "Press 1 for Sales, Press 2 for Support" in a visual editor. Route each option to a person, voicemail, or another menu. No TwiML or code.
Call Forwarding & Voicemail
Forward calls to a primary and backup number, and capture voicemail with transcripts when no one answers. Set it once per number, Twilio or Telnyx.
Business Hours Routing
Define your open hours per day. Calls ring your team during business hours and roll to voicemail or a custom message after hours, automatically.
Set up a professional phone system in minutes instead of fighting the Twilio or Telnyx console.
Built specifically to enhance, not replace, your existing Twilio or Telnyx account.

Real businesses, in their own words.
“I tried to use Twilio and nearly gave up, then I found TelBuddy. Now I can run my entire phone system from my iPhone. It’s so much easier to use!”
“Thanks to TelBuddy, I no longer have to log into Twilio just to check who called me. Calls don’t get missed, and I get a copy of every text in my email. We couldn’t operate without it.”
A few honest answers.
Do I need to understand the Twilio or Telnyx console to use TelBuddy?
No. TelBuddy connects to your existing Twilio or Telnyx account and gives you a simple dashboard for SMS, phone menus (IVR), call forwarding, voicemail, business hours, and an optional AI receptionist. You never have to touch the carrier console or write any code.
Can I build a phone menu (IVR) without coding?
Yes. TelBuddy includes a visual IVR builder. Create options like "Press 1 for Sales, Press 2 for Support" and route each choice to forwarding, voicemail, another menu, or your AI receptionist, all without writing TwiML, TeXML, or code.
Can TelBuddy forward calls and take voicemail?
Yes. Set a primary and backup forwarding number, enable voicemail with transcripts, and configure business hours so calls route differently after hours, all from one screen per number.
Does TelBuddy work with my existing Twilio or Telnyx number?
Yes. Connect your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token, or your Telnyx API key, and TelBuddy syncs your existing numbers and configures webhooks automatically. No platform migration and no porting required.
Does TelBuddy work with Telnyx too?
Yes. TelBuddy also connects directly to Telnyx, so you can use Twilio, Telnyx, or both at the same time under one account. No migration required either way.
Nothing ported
Your number stays in your own carrier account, in your name, on your billing.
No usage markup
Twilio or Telnyx bills you directly at their own rates. We never sit in the middle.
Leave any time
Disconnect and your number keeps working, because it never moved.
