band quickstart

One-command setup: create app, VCP, and order a phone number

Synopsis

Quickstart creates everything you need to make voice calls.

By default, it uses the Universal Platform path (VCP). If your account is on the legacy platform, use --legacy for the sub-account/location path.

Re-running quickstart is safe on the default (VCP) path: existing resources are reused and a second number is never ordered. NOTE: re-running --legacy may order an additional paid number because legacy number ordering is not idempotent; prefer the default VCP path, which is.
