### Answer
Hello Matthieu,
Yes, you are correct that only US and Canada phone numbers can be directly purchased through Vapi. For phone numbers in other regions, including France, they must be imported from external telephony providers like Twilio or Vonage [(1)](
) .
If neither Twilio nor Vonage currently offers French numbers, you might need to explore other telephony providers who can offer +33 numbers. Once you obtain a French number, it can be integrated into Vapi by importing it, as you've mentioned. This is indeed the recommended approach given the limitations with direct procurement of non-US/CA numbers through Vapi.
I recommend checking periodically with Twilio and Vonage for availability or exploring other telephony providers that might offer French numbers. Once a number is secured, you can import it into Vapi using the import functionality [(2)](

Best regards,
