That 503 error typically means there’s a connection issue between Vapi and Telnyx’s SIP trunk. It’s usually one of three things: your SIP credentials aren’t configured right in Vapi, outbound calling isn’t enabled on your Telnyx number/messaging profile, or there’s an IP whitelisting mismatch.
Double-check your Telnyx SIP username and password in Vapi’s dashboard and make sure outbound is actually turned on for that number in Telnyx. Sometimes it’s just a simple config mismatch that’s easy to miss.
