Vapi / Twilio / Change Region to Ireland (IE1)
# support
k
Dear Support, I am using a German landline Twilio number (imported into Vapi) and I am utilizing the transferCall function in my assistant. Everything was working well until I changed the Routing Region from the US to Ireland (IE1) on Twilio's website to reduce latency. Since making this change, my assistant is functioning faster and sounds clearer, but the transferCall function is no longer working. When the assistant attempts to forward the call, I can see in the call logs that it shows 'Forwarded β†’ +49 5066 64766' in the call transcript. However, the call gets disconnected the moment the assistant tries to connect. In the Twilio logs, there is no 'Outgoing Dial' to the above-mentioned number. What can I do to make the transferCall function work for the Ireland region as well? Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

@KarlKing Hello, I'm glad to hear that your assistant's performance has improved with the change to the Ireland (IE1) region. Regarding the issue with the
transferCall
function, it sounds like there might be a configuration issue related to the region change that is affecting the call forwarding. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: 1. **Check Twilio's Geographic Permissions**: Ensure that your Twilio account has the necessary permissions to make calls to German landline numbers from the Ireland region. 2. **Review Twilio's Number Configuration**: Verify that the Twilio number's voice settings are correctly configured to allow for outgoing calls in the new region. 3. **Inspect Webhook URLs**: Make sure that the webhook URLs in your Twilio number configuration are updated to point to the correct server region. 4. **Examine Vapi Configuration**: Review your Vapi configuration to ensure that it is set up to handle the new region settings and that there are no hard-coded references to the previous region that might be causing conflicts. 5. **Test with a Different Number**: Try using the
transferCall
function with a different number to see if the issue is specific to the German landline number. 6. **Check for Errors**: Look for any error messages or codes in both Vapi and Twilio logs that could provide more insight into the problem. 7. **Contact Twilio Support**: If the issue persists, reaching out to Twilio support might be necessary as they can provide more detailed assistance with their service. If you've already tried some of these steps or if you need further assistance with specific Vapi configurations, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help you further.

Still not workingfor me πŸ˜• The call gets lost the moment Vapi transfers the call. On Twilio there is no "Outbound Dial"to the number the call shoud be transfered to. This is the call Id of my last try: 00d16fd4-9a34-4c1e-a069-06231a3492ab

00d16fd4-9a34-4c1e-a069-06231a3492ab Bullish: Couldn't Transfer Twilio Call. Error: The requested resource /2010-04-01/Accounts/ACaa207219efc8b014473387153f230e1d/Calls/CA2c6fc2fd09fd6214230549351abe2295.json was not found You will need to change back to normal region. It will work.

Yes, US-Routing will work (with more latency in my case.). Is it an internal issue of Vapi or Twilio or can i akt on it to use Ireland-Routing for european calls?
s
Will need to check with the team.
@KarlKing You will need to contact to twilio team with the call SID why this issue occurred. They will be able to help you out with it.

Here is what i got from Twilio Support: "Thank you for contacting Twilio Support. My name is Aditya and I will be assisting you on this ticket. I looked that call samples you shared and the affected Call : CA8f116373b6b3dc8f50e708530328d97e (through IE1 region). I can see you're using to the stream URL : 'wss://aws-us-west-2-production3-phone-call-websocket.vapi.ai' The has only recently been made available in the Ireland (IE1) and Australia (AU1) Regions. For outbound calls, I would suggest you to please follow the guide for outbound calls in non-US Regions . Above guide will show you how to make an outbound Call using the Twilio REST API in a Region other than the default, United States (US1) Region. The examples in this guide will use the Ireland (IE1) Region." This answer doesn't help me, but perhaps it is an approach for Vapi to make the routing region (IE1) usable for transferCalls within Europe.

@Henryk might be able to help you out on this one.

Send me screenshots of your set up
Within Twilio, especially the inbound and or outbound set up webhooks

Hi there, I'm jumping in here as I have a similar problem. German number routed through Ireland, but forwarding to another number doesn't work. Is there any update on this? @Henryk @KarlKing
I try to re-route via US1, but the transfer still isn't working. Has to be something different here with my issue then πŸ˜•
fixed! πŸ™‚

Does tranferCall now also work for you via Ireland?
j
No, unfortunately not yet. I currently have an open ticket with Twilio.
