Call limits Vapi & Twilio
# support

I made an outbound call assistant with Vapi using a Twilio Phone number. Is there a limit how many calls can be done simultaneously or within x Minutes? Are there best practises?

@fisch3r I'm glad to hear you're using VAPI with a Twilio phone number for outbound calls! Regarding simultaneous call limits, these are typically determined by your Twilio pricing plan and the capabilities of your infrastructure. Twilio has concurrent call limits based on the type of number you have (local, mobile, toll-free) and your service plan. It's best to check Twilio's documentation or contact their support for specific numbers. As for best practices: 1. **Compliance**: Ensure you comply with all relevant telecommunication laws and regulations, including respecting the Do Not Call registry and obtaining proper consent for calls. 2. **Call Quality**: Monitor and optimize call quality. Use Twilio's call quality reports and analytics to track performance and troubleshoot any issues. 3. **Error Handling**: Implement robust error handling to manage failed calls, retries, and fallbacks. 4. **Scalability**: Design your system to scale up or down based on demand. Consider using cloud services that can handle load changes dynamically. 5. **Efficiency**: Use call status callbacks to track the lifecycle of each call and adjust your call strategy accordingly. 6. **Security**: Protect your Twilio credentials and use encryption to secure calls and data. 7. **Cost Management**: Keep an eye on your usage to avoid unexpected charges. Set up usage alerts and caps if available. 8. **Testing**: Regularly test your system to ensure it works under various conditions and loads. 9. **Documentation**: Keep your documentation up to date, especially if you have a team working on the project. 10. **Customer Experience**: Design your call flows to be user-friendly and provide value to the recipient. Remember, the key is to start with a clear understanding of your requirements and then design your system within the constraints of your service provider's capabilities. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, please let me know!

@fisch3r by default you can only make 10 outbound calls a day and 10 concurrent calls (total of inbound and outbound calls). The concurrency limit is applied at the account level.

@Shubham Bajaj I thought this was bypassed by getting phone number from twilio directly?
s
Yeah the outbound call limit is bypassed.

@Shubham Bajaj to be sure in this regard: I bought an number from twilio and use it with vapi. So there is no 10calls/day limit? What is the limit if any? Is there a best practise when the calls might become worse in quality if you run 10/ 50 / 100 calls in the same time?

@fisch3r the daily outbound call limit was imposed by Twilio on our account and there is no limit on numbers purchased directly from twilio and lastly call quality has no relation with number of calls you make.
