GSM vs VoIP for outbound campaigns — why a microcomputer wins
The problem with VoIP for mass campaigns
Traditional VoIP solutions require stable internet (min. 25 Mbps), network infrastructure, and add costs at multiple layers: VoIP carrier + internet + network hardware + configuration.
Talknbot VE: the GSM approach
Talknbot VE is a microcomputer with a built-in GSM/LTE transmitter. It does not need internet to make calls — it uses the cellular network, just like a regular phone.
Cost comparison:
- VoIP: Carrier fees + internet + infrastructure + configuration
- Talknbot VE: Just ElevenLabs minutes + a SIM card
Reliability:
- VoIP: Depends on internet quality, ISP, routers
- GSM: Cellular network — proven telecom technology
Deployment:
- VoIP: Network configuration, SIP trunks, testing
- Talknbot VE: Insert SIM, configure agent — done
ElevenLabs Grant
Talknbot was the first company in the world to receive an ElevenLabs Grant in the edge + GSM/LTE category — a confirmation that hardware + AI is the future of outbound.
