Cant Buy a phone number
@Shubham Bajaj the problem has not solved

@cfarias I'm here to help! If you're having trouble purchasing a phone number through Twilio, let's go through some common steps to troubleshoot the issue: 1. **Check Your Account Balance**: Ensure that you have sufficient funds in your Twilio account to purchase a phone number. 2. **Verify Account Limitations**: If you're on a trial account, there may be limitations on purchasing phone numbers. Make sure your account is upgraded if necessary. 3. **Region Availability**: Check if the phone number you're trying to purchase is available in your desired region. 4. **Browser Issues**: Sometimes browser extensions or issues can interfere with the purchasing process. Try using a different browser or incognito mode. 5. **Payment Method**: Verify that your payment method is valid and up-to-date. If you've checked all these and still can't purchase a number, please provide me with more details or error messages you're encountering so I can assist you further. If the issue persists, you may need to contact Twilio support for more in-depth assistance.
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

i did it...and do not work too...
i have tried outbound calls to USA numbers and Mexican phone numbers and get same result...for that reason want to buy a number with you directly
e
I got the same thing yesterday. I was waiting ask about this during the Office Hours. It's not working for me either.

**I have tried all possible ways of writing phone numbers (including e.164) and the result is the same...I can't make outbound calls.
***I have tried 2 twilio accounts and 2 different tuilio numbers and the result is the same .... I can't make outbound calls.
** I have tested 2 VAPI accounts...both configured correctly...the result is the same...I can't make outbound calls
So please @Lucent if you can help me to configure and run my VAPI services for outbound calls, I would be very grateful.
