Guide for voice AI builders
Indian phone numbers for Vapi, Retell, LiveKit, and n8n agents.
The AI agent is only one layer. For India, the harder first step is often getting a compliant +91 business number, routing it cleanly, seeing the call logs, and keeping a fallback ready when the route fails.
Boni Voice starts with an Indian business number from Rs 500/month, with inbound calling included under fair use.
Number layer first
Indian DID, route, logs, fallback
Number
+91 business DID
Route
Webhook, AI, SIP, Bow Chat
Runtime
LiveKit, Vapi, Retell, n8n
Fallback
Human team or phone
Separate the number layer from the agent layer.
Vapi, Retell, LiveKit, n8n, and custom apps can all be valid choices. The question for Indian callers is how the phone call reaches that stack, how failures are handled, and where the business sees the result.
LiveKit
Agents, rooms, SIP participants, dispatch rules, and realtime media.
Use Boni Voice for the Indian DID, approval, inbound route, call logs, and fallback.
Vapi
Voice-agent runtime and assistant behavior.
Use Boni Voice when the missing piece is a compliant Indian number and route into a SIP or supported endpoint.
Retell
Voice-agent runtime, custom telephony paths, and production call handling.
Use Boni Voice for the +91 ingress, route state, first-call validation, and human fallback.
n8n or custom app
Workflow automation, CRM routing, lead capture, callbacks, and post-call tasks.
Use Boni Voice webhooks and call events to keep the rest of the workflow updated.
Video context
Before tuning the agent, watch how the call should land.
The demos show what the number layer is trying to make possible: a caller reaches a routed team or AI path, the conversation stays observable, and failure still creates follow-up work.
Inbound call routing demo
A Bow Chat calling demo used as Boni Voice proof: an inbound call reaches the team workspace, keeps caller context visible, and creates a follow-up trail instead of disappearing into one phone.
Route choices that match how builders actually work.
Webhook
Your app decides the next action and receives call lifecycle events.
Hosted AI
Boni-managed voice AI can answer or qualify calls when that is the right path.
SIP endpoint
Route to a compatible LiveKit, Vapi, Retell, PBX, or custom voice endpoint.
Bow Chat
Attach calls to the team inbox for missed-call follow-up, notes, summaries, and assignment.
Fallback phone
Send calls to a human mobile or landline when the primary route is not ready.
The first-call checklist.
Pick the Indian business number path before tuning the AI model.
Keep inbound and outbound as separate products and approvals.
Verify KYC, use case, fair use, and fallback before live traffic.
Use one canonical E.164 number format everywhere.
Test one real inbound call and inspect the call log before launch.
Keep a human fallback for no-agent, no-audio, SIP, or webhook failures.
The starter offer is intentionally inbound-first.
Indian outbound AI calling, dialers, telemarketing, campaign calls, DND handling, and high-volume traffic need separate pricing and compliance review. Start by making one inbound number work end to end.
Starter path
Rs 500/month per approved Indian business number.
Inbound calling is included under fair use. The number can route into webhooks, hosted AI, SIP endpoints, Bow Chat, or fallback phones depending on what your workflow needs.
FAQ
Can I get an Indian number for a voice AI agent?
Yes. Boni Voice is built around an Indian business number plus inbound routing to webhook, hosted AI, SIP, Bow Chat, or fallback. The current starter number is Rs 500/month with KYC and fair-use controls.
Is this only for LiveKit?
No. LiveKit is one high-intent route. The broader Boni Voice India DID path can also support builders using Vapi, Retell, n8n, SIP, hosted AI, Bow Chat, or custom applications.
Is outbound AI calling included?
No. The starter path is inbound-first. Outbound, dialer, campaign, telemarketing, and high-volume AI use cases need separate compliance, pricing, and abuse-control review.
What should I test first?
Test one real inbound call into the chosen route, confirm the call log, fallback, and event delivery, then tune the AI runtime. Many voice-agent demos fail at the number and routing layer before the model matters.
