Hi,
I’m reaching out regarding a critical issue that’s now affecting over 60 of our clients.
Until a few weeks ago, our outbound calls via the /call API worked reliably. But recently, nearly all outbound calls are now failing with the status "Customer Did Not Answer". Even test calls to our own internal numbers are not ringing, despite the API returning a 200 Success.
Here’s an example error that A Vapi team member sent us that they saw in their internal logs for the failed calls:
🔵 11:56:18:082 Call e65b59a5-bf02-451b-8a14-5cdc08b37f2d - Waited 300s But Transport Never Connected.
We escalated this to Twilio support and provided call timestamps and phone numbers. Their response was clear:
The calls never reached Twilio. They do not exist in their logs.
This confirms the issue is occurring before the handoff to Twilio, likely on Vapi’s side.
We urgently need your help to:
1. Diagnose what’s preventing the calls from being handed off to Twilio
2. Verify what Vapi is returning internally when these calls are initiated
3. Restore reliable outbound calling, as this is impacting real-time lead response for all clients
Let us know if you need further logs or test cases—we’re happy to provide them.
Thanks in advance for your quick support. This is business-critical.
