Absolutely! You can integrate your Twilio number with VAPI services without porting it. You can use the

Yes, you can manage the integration of your Twilio number with VAPI through the user interface (UI). Typically, the UI will have sections where you can enter your Twilio credentials, configure call settings, and set up call flows. If you need any guidance through the UI or have specific questions about the process, please let me know, and I'll be happy to assist you further!

If you're concerned about providing your full Twilio credentials, you can use Twilio's capability to create API keys specifically for this purpose. This way, you can generate a new API key with restricted permissions that you can use with VAPI. This key will allow you to authenticate your requests without exposing your primary Twilio account credentials.
Would you like to proceed with generating a restricted API key from Twilio, or do you need further assistance with another method?
