Is there any way we can import phone numbers from other services than twilio and vonage? like from Exotel? As I need a UAE number and both the platforms are unable to provide it.

<@417320099805003777>
Currently, VAPI supports importing existing phone numbers from Twilio and Vonage. If you're looking to import a phone number from a different service provider like Exotel, I would recommend reaching out to our support team for assistance. They can provide you with the most up-to-date information on whether importing from Exotel or acquiring a UAE number through other means is possible. Please ask support for more info on this.

And do let me know if you need any other help.

I have already contacted Twilio support multiple times but they are mentioning that outbound call is not possible with UAE number. <@865531204849500190>

<@865531204849500190> any other solution you have?

the above docs are for using local numbers through SIP by connecting with your telephony provider.

SIP helps you use local numbers with local telphony provider w/o involving twilio.

Cool. Thanks. I will find a sip provider and do it.

<@865531204849500190> can you suggest some ways to reduce latency. Currently, we are getting around 2 sec delay in response.
