		Why is codec compatibility important when selecting a VoIP termination provider, and what risks arise when it's mismatched?

		Codec mismatch can lead to transcoding, which introduces latency and degrades voice quality significantly especially noticeable in real-time calls.

		If your system is optimized for G.729 and the supplier doesnt support it, the result may be robotic or choppy audio unless transcoding is handled properly.

		G.711 provides better audio quality but consumes more bandwidth, which may not be suitable for low-bandwidth environments like mobile networks.

		Always check codec support during onboarding. Mismatched codecs can make even premium routes sound poor and lead to client dissatisfaction.
