Some help setting up VAPI with an Indian number
# support

Anyone with some experience with setting up indian numbers to VAPI? I don't want twilio solution, something else?
v
Unfortunately, Vapi does not currently support Indian phone numbers with providers like Plivo or others due to TRAI regulations, which require SIP termination via an Indian server—a feature Vapi does not offer at this time. If you need to use Vapi, you will have to use non-Indian numbers or explore other platforms that comply with Indian telephony regulations. If you have a different use case or want to try with a non-Indian number, let me know and I can provide a setup example!

Is there an alternative? Like BYO SIP Trunk type?

You will need to get in touch with ([huzefa@vivadigitally.com](huzefa@vivadigitally.com)) [vivadigitally.com](http://vivadigitally.com), or any other telephony provider that offers a SIP trunk. They will be able to help with the number, and then you can read this guide about integrating it. Note: This guide uses the Twilio SIP trunk as an example, but the procedure is pretty much the same for other telephony providers as well.
