Vapi AI

im building an assistant that will be able to receive and make calls here in Egypt, but i find it hard to connect a phone number in here

**You can try connecting your Egyptian phone number to Vapi by setting up a custom SIP trunk integration.** If your Egyptian provider supports SIP trunking, gather your SIP server address, credentials, and phone number, then use the following example to add your SIP trunk to Vapi:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.vapi.ai/credential" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_VAPI_PRIVATE_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "provider": "byo-sip-trunk",
    "name": "My Egypt SIP Trunk",
    "gateways": [{ "ip": "YOUR_SIP_SERVER_ADDRESS" }],
    "outboundAuthenticationPlan": {
      "authUsername": "YOUR_SIP_USERNAME",
      "authPassword": "YOUR_SIP_PASSWORD"
    }
  }'
```
*Replace the placeholders with your actual SIP details. This is the recommended way to connect non-US numbers to Vapi if your provider supports SIP trunking* ([Vapi SIP Trunking Guide](https://docs.vapi.ai/advanced/sip/sip-trunk)).

<@1315360498539167794> Are you able to obtain a local SIP provider ?

I believe Egypt Telecom may be able to help you

You can also take a look at https://didlogic.com/voice/did-numbers/local-did-numbers/ - however, DIDLogic doesn't connect easily with VAPI - so you'll need to connect it via Cloudonix.
