The error you're seeing is likely due to geographic restrictions. According to the information I found, VAPI numbers are currently only permitted to make calls to US-based numbers, even for free telephony. **Solution**: Use SIP trunking to connect your Indian numbers. Check with Plivo if they support SIP trunking with VAPI, then configure the SIP trunk with proper authentication details:
Copy code
json
{
  "provider": "byo-sip-trunk",
  "name": "Plivo Trunk",
  "credentials": {
    "username": "YourPlivoUsername",
    "password": "YourPlivoPassword"
  }
}

You can use a Viva Digital. They provide Indian phone numbers and then through SIP trunking you can directly connect them to VAPI.
Let me know if you require further help with this.
