Anyone used VAPI to create outbound callers for UA...

Twilio does not support UAE outbound calls, but you can try using Telnyx with Vapi as a workaround. To do this, import your Telnyx number into Vapi and configure outbound calling as follows: 1. In your Vapi dashboard, go to Phone Numbers and select Create a Phone Number. 2. Choose the Telnyx tab, enter your Telnyx number details, and follow the prompts to complete the import. 3. In your Telnyx portal, add Vapi as a connection under "Connections and Applications" and save your changes. Note: Make sure Telnyx supports outbound calls to UAE before proceeding. [See the full Telnyx integration guide here.](https://docs.vapi.ai/telnyx) Sources: - [Import number from Telnyx](https://docs.vapi.ai/telnyx) - [Phone Calling](https://docs.vapi.ai/phone-calling) - [Free Vapi number](https://docs.vapi.ai/free-telephony)
To make outbound calls to a list of opted-in UAE numbers with Vapi, you need to import a phone number from a supported provider (like Vonage) that allows UAE calling. Then, use the API to batch call your list:
Copy code
json
{
  "assistantId": "your-assistant-id",
  "phoneNumberId": "your-imported-vonage-number-id",
  "customers": [
    { "number": "+971XXXXXXXXX" },
    { "number": "+971YYYYYYYYY" }
  ]
}
Note: Replace the numbers with your opted-in UAE numbers. Ensure your provider supports UAE outbound calls before proceeding.

Plivo might be able to provide SIP trunking for UAE

Actually, most CPaaS providers can provide only toll free numbers in the UAE, as it's highly regulated. We now have customers in the UAE where we helped them create a unique connectivity solution to enable this.

To do this, you would import a phone number from a provider that supports UAE outbound calling into Vapi, and then use the Vapi API to make batch outbound calls to your list of opted-in UAE numbers. It's important to confirm with your chosen provider that they support outbound calls to the UAE, as regulations in the region can be strict and most CPaaS providers may only offer toll-free numbers. Some users have mentioned creating unique connectivity solutions to enable this, and Plivo has also been suggested as a possible provider for SIP trunking in the UAE.
