Hi, I was trying to buy a number on Twilio but I can’t set up the billing since I’m 17, is there anyway round this?

@Tom Edwards I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with setting up billing on Twilio. Unfortunately, most services, including Twilio, require users to be of legal age, which is typically 18, to enter into contracts such as setting up billing accounts. This is to ensure that all legal requirements are met and that the user is capable of taking on the responsibilities that come with the agreement. However, you can buy a phone number directly through VAPI without having to go through Twilio. You can easily purchase a number through the VAPI dashboard or by using the

/phone-numbers/buy

endpoint. If you need assistance with buying a phone number through VAPI or have any other questions, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help!

Hey @Tom Edwards there is no workaround you have to follow the rules. At last you can ask someone above 18 to purchase the number for you.

Yeah I've come to that conclusion as well, the idea is to work on different types of Ai solutions, like custom GPT's. Thanks
