Outbound Call Failed. Daily Limit Reached - Issue...
# support
a
Testing out my outbound calls and last night this error message started coming up right before i was ready to activate my crm process . "Outbound Call Failed. Couldn't Start Call. Daily Outbound Limit Reached. Import your own Twilio Account to Scale Further" I've looked everywhere and have posted in discord and no one really has an answer. Nothing in support that says theres a daily call limit. Please advise , thanks https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1294427314964398080/1294427315111067648/Screenshot_2024-10-10_at_7.26.23_PM.png?ex=670af8e1&is=6709a761&hm=dfd18395f43b498999bb2e7f4541986a17b9cc515fd264152b7f865fecd6a2ad&

You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.
@angeloagz It sounds like you've encountered a limitation related to the number of outbound calls you can make within a certain period, which is often imposed by the service provider for various reasons, such as preventing abuse or managing server load. Since the error message specifically mentions Twilio, it's likely that the limit is coming from there. Here's what you can do: 1. **Check Twilio's Documentation**: Look into Twilio's official documentation or contact their support to understand the specific limits on outbound calls for your account type. 2. **Review Your Account Usage**: Log into your Twilio account and review your usage to see if you've indeed hit a limit. 3. **Upgrade or Scale Your Account**: If you're on a trial or lower-tier plan, you might need to upgrade to a higher plan that allows more outbound calls. Alternatively, importing your own Twilio account, as suggested by the error message, could also mean that you need to set up a separate Twilio account with higher limits and link it to your CRM process. 4. **Implement Call Queueing**: If your CRM process triggers a high volume of calls in a short period, consider implementing a queueing system to spread the calls out over time and avoid hitting daily limits. 5. **Contact Support**: If none of the above steps clarify the situation, you may need to reach out to the support team of your CRM or the voice API service you're using for a more detailed explanation and assistance. Remember to always monitor your usage to prevent hitting these limits in the future, and consider setting up alerts or notifications when you're approaching them. If you need further assistance or have more questions, please feel free to ask.
Got it. Tagging @User for additional help.

this is not a twilio account its with a Vapi Provided phone number
t
@angeloagz did you figure out how to go about this?
m
Do u guys know if using twilio number u dont get concurrency call limits?
t
That's apparently what their announcement means, I'm going to test it tonight.
l
yeah
m

Please, let me know if the concurrency limits its gone when u test it

It's not related to concurrency limits. They announced yesterday they were capping outbound calls @ 10 per day. This is due to a user exploiting the system for fraudelent purposes (involved in a phishing scam). Note - This only relates to outbound calls from numbers purchased directly through Vapi. Therefor as long as you register an account and integrate your own phone numbers via Twilio/Vonage the call cap does not apply (as it mitigates risk/liability for Vapi). Hope this helps!

If anyone knows how to use sip imported numbers for outbound calls that will help. Looking forward for a solution.

Vapi purchased numbers have limitations of max 10 outbound calls a day because of twilio regulations to uplift you can use your own twilio number.

@Shubham Bajaj or if anyone knows, do we just create a number in twilio and import it. Is there anything else we have to do? Like A2P 10DLC registration, or something. Obviously, this is for automated AI outbound calls. Also I'm in the US. So maybe the rules are different here. if anyone know, I would really appreciate the help!

As far as I know, purchasing number from twilio and maintaining it's reputation is enough for the outbound calls.
