When an incoming call is sent to a SIP URI containing only numbers, or a combination of numbers and characters, the call fails. However, if the URI contains only alphabetic characters, the call succeeds.
For example:
• sip:number-4165551234@sip.vapi.ai results in a failed call, even though no credentials are configured. The system responds with:
X-Reason: Invalid credentials
• sip:number@sip.vapi.ai works without any issues, despite the same lack of credentials.
This suggests that the presence of numeric characters in the URI may be triggering credential checks or authentication requirements.
