📦 A missed delivery SMS can create a lot more headaches than a missed notification... and sometimes, the problem isn't the courier. It's the phone number.
Invalid numbers, formatting errors, and landlines mistaken for mobile numbers can mean missed delivery updates, more "Where alls, and frustrated customers.
In her latest Vonage Developer Blog post, Amanda Cavallaro shares how to prevent these issues with two simple steps:
✅ Sanitize: Normalize phone numbers to E.164 format using the Vonage Identity Insights API.
✅ Validate: Confirm the number is a valid, SMS-capable mobile line before hitting send.
The best part? Both steps happen in a single API call, using live operator data instead of outdated lookup tables. 🌍
Make sure your messages reach the right customers, starting with the right phone numbers. 📲

🌉🌴 2 cities + 2 weeks = endless connections and unforgettable @Techweek_ moments! 🚀
Across San Francisco and Los Angeles, we hosted and co-hosted events that brought together founders, developers, and investors to connect, share ideas, and explore what's next for Voice AI.
of the highlights:
🚶 TechWalk (SF + LA): We kicked off both weeks with the TechWalk community at Crissy Field in SF and Santa Monica in LA. No slide decks, no agendas. Just great conversations, fresh air, and even better company.
🎙️ Voice AI with @DeepgramAI (SF + LA): Two packed sessions featuring live demos, real-world deployment insights, and conversations about what it takes to bring Voice AI into production. We loved seeing so many of you there!
🏙️ APIs, Aperol & A Rooftop Social (LA): Our rooftop gathering in Santa Monica brought together guests from a16z, @GoogleStartups, AWS, @CloudflareDev, Red Bull Ventures, @uncorkcap, and more for an evening of great conversations and new connections.
💡 VC Reverse Pitch with Founders & Funders (LA): Flipping the traditional pitch format! Investors took the stage to share their investment theses with founders, creating a unique opportunity to connect and explore what's next. A big thanks to Founders & Funders for partnering with us!
🥐 Founders' Breakfast with @alumniventures (SF): Good coffee, great company, and meaningful conversations with pre-seed to Series A founders. The perfect way to bring the startup community together.
A huge thank you to our partners and everyone who joined us, shared ideas, and made these two weeks so memorable. 💜
See you at the next one. 🌟

Last week, we hosted our first mini hackathon at AI Campus Barcelona! 🙌
Ops Apps That Talk Back brought together builders, operators, and tinkerers for an evening with one goal: use @softr_io and the Vonage Messages API to build and launch a working ops app in under two hours.
tely delivered! 💜
Projects included an employee onboarding tracker, a rewards tool for in-person commerce events, an expense tracker connected to WhatsApp, and more. All built from scratch in just one evening by the people who would actually use them.
The event marked two exciting firsts: our first collaboration with Softr and our first event at AI Campus Barcelona. And we're just getting started! 🚀
We were also thrilled to welcome a special guest, @mariam_hakobyan, Co-Founder & CEO of Softr, who joined us for the evening.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring this event to life:
👉 @KarlLingiah – for bringing the Vonage developer energy
👉 @frankopazo1 – for partnering with us to make this experience happen
👉 Vincent Jong – for creating a space in Barcelona where builders can turn ideas into reality
More to come. 🌟

Building an AI voice agent is one thing. Making it ready for the real world is another. 🎙️🤖
In his latest tutorial, our Developer Advocate Benjamin Aronov takes the Vonage + Deepgram Voice Agent beyond the basics with the tools and guardrails that make it genuinely useful:
✅ ps
⏱️ Hard timeouts for slow APIs
🛟 Reliable fallback responses
📞 Seamless handoffs to a human agent
📋 Call logging to learn and improve over time
The order backend is mocked, but the pattern is ready to plug into your own database or API.
This is how you build voice AI that's production-minded from day one.

Your JSON schemas could be adding a hidden tax to your AI bill. 💸
Our team at the Vonage AI Center of Excellence noticed token usage was consistently higher than expected, even on short prompts. The culprit? JSON schema overhead.
We put it to the test across Gemini 2.5 Flash, aude Haiku 4.5. The results stood out:
👉 A medium-complexity schema on Claude Haiku 4.5 added 71% to the input token bill on a 100-token prompt
👉 Gemini 2.5 Flash used 186 tokens vs. 1,189 on Claude for the same deeply nested schema
👉 Across millions of API calls, that “hidden tax” can quickly become a real cost driver
The good news: there are ways to cut the overhead.
From trimming unnecessary schema fields to choosing the right model for your workload, Nimrod Taiblum shares practical ways to keep those hidden token costs in check in our latest blog. 👇
