    Migrating from MessageBird (Bird) to Orbit — the runbook

    A Bird-specific migration runbook for omnichannel senders re-checking the market after the rebrand. Bird's SMS, voice, WhatsApp, and email coverage mapped onto Orbit's sms-api, programmable-voice, whatsapp-business-api, and email-api surfaces, plus the verify side lane Bird does not publish — then the move walked in order: numbers, messaging lanes, voice, verify.

    Migrating from Plivo to Orbit — the runbook

    A Plivo-specific migration runbook for senders hitting pricing, throughput, or 10DLC friction. The Plivo voice and SMS coverage mapped onto Orbit's sms-api, programmable-voice, whatsapp-business-api, and verify-api surfaces, then the migration walked in order — numbers, SMS, voice, verify — with the checklist and docs deep links that close it.

    Moving off Sinch in 2026 — the comparison and the migration runbook

    An editorial comparison and migration runbook for teams leaving Sinch's multi-product CPaaS portfolio. Sinch coverage mapped product by product onto Orbit's sms-api, rcs-api, whatsapp-business-api, programmable-voice, and verify-api surfaces, then the switch ordered so sender IDs, message templates, and delivery-report webhooks move without interrupting live traffic.
