How to make a VoIP service like Twilio or Sinch? (alien.top)

Hey guys! I'm looking into making my own VoIP phone number service similar to Twilio. I've looked all over the internet for this, but wasn't able to find anything about creating valid VoIP phone numbers that anybody is able to call from their phone. What I mean by this is numbers like (929) xxx xxxx.

I would appreciate any insight on how to host this :)

Before anybody recommends it, NO, I do NOT want to use any third parties like TextNow or voip.ms.

A phone number is a phone number. You don't "create" one, you lease/subscribe to a carrier that did the work to become an authorized phone carrier in a specific country.

If your question is "how do I start my own carrier in my country ?"`, first step would be going to the government body that oversees telecom operations. Usually, you'd need to complete administratives and technical requirements, such as :

getting an operator license
implementing a technical solution to bill your customers according to their traffic
buying/leasing a range of phone numbers to the government or bigger carriers
setting up connections (over internet or private circuits) to other upstream/partner carriers

This is not an exhaustive list unfortunately :)
