Outbound calls from Twilio-imported numbers failin...

All outbound calls from our Twilio-imported phone numbers are failing immediately with call.start.error-get-transport. Calls from Vapi-native numbers on the same account work fine. Tested multiple Twilio-imported numbers — all fail with the same error, never connect. Vapi-native numbers connect normally. All calls are outbound via POST /call. This started within the last hour. Status page shows all services operational. Seems like a Twilio transport/SIP trunk provisioning issue on Vapi's side. Happy to share call IDs and org ID via DM if that helps debug.

Hi there, Thank you for your message. Our team is currently out of the office. We operate Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST).

The "call.start.error-get-transport" indicates an issue retrieving transport information when initiating the call, which prevents the call from reaching Twilio. Here are some steps to help resolve this: 1. Recheck Twilio Configuration: Ensure that the Twilio Account SID and Auth Token are correct and re-save them in the Vapi dashboard. Ensure the Twilio account is active, has sufficient credit, and that the number is voice-enabled. 2. Vapi Number Configuration: Verify that the imported Twilio number is properly configured in Vapi. Use the
/phone-numbers
endpoint to ensure the number details are correctly registered. 3. Outbound Call Setup: Ensure that the configured Twilio number allows outbound calls to the destination (Slovenia). Check the geographic permissions in the Twilio console. 4. Transport Settings: Although you mentioned no transport overrides, ensure that the transport settings align with the intended setup. Consider including transport details in the payload: 4.
Copy code
"transport": {
  "provider": "twilio",
  "audioFormat": {
    "format": "pcm_s16le",
    "container": "raw",
    "sampleRate": 16000
  }
}
5. Review Vapi Logs: Check the Vapi call logs for any additional error details that might indicate why the transport lookup is failing. Access the [call logs](https://dashboard.vapi.ai/calls) for more information. 6. API Key Validation: Ensure the Vapi API key used in your requests is valid and has the necessary permissions. For more in-depth analysis, verify each configuration step matches the expected setup and correct any discrepancies found.

Thanks for the suggestions. A few clarifications: - We're calling US to US, not Slovenia — the geographic permissions point doesn't apply - transport and phoneNumberId are mutually exclusive in the API, so we can't add transport settings when using a phone number ID - The Twilio account is active with credit, numbers are voice-enabled — nothing changed in our config - This started suddenly yesterday evening. The exact same calls were working the day before with no config changes - Key finding: Vapi-native numbers on the same account work fine. Only Twilio-imported numbers fail. This points to something on Vapi's side resolving Twilio transport Can someone check the transport lookup for our Twilio account? Happy to DM org ID and failed call IDs.
