About
Bandwidth is a major US voice and messaging network, and their Build plan is a free trial that gets you a real US phone number, a voice application, and 3,000 credits without a credit card. You can make and receive calls with full control over how they're answered, plus set up SIP trunks. The trial limits calls to your verified number, 5 at a time, and 30 minutes each. Plenty to build and test a calling feature.
