### Answer To set up inbound calling with Vapi, you need to follow these steps: 1. Get a Phone Number: You can either use existing numbers you own or purchase one directly through Vapi. Vapi can provision the phone number for you via Twilio. This can be done in the dashboard or via the API [(1)]() . 2. Attach Your Assistant: Assign your assistant to the phone number, so it picks up calls. You'll need to configure your assistant's transcriber, model, and voice settings in the Vapi dashboard beforehand. 3. Call the Number: After setting up, you can call the number to interact with your assistant. You can manage these settings and more through the [Vapi Dashboard]().
