A2P 10DLC Campaign Vetting Delays: Twilio cannot approve 10DLC Campaigns ourselves, and must rely on third parties who control our connections to carriers to sign off. These external processes are creating several week delays for our customers. We continue to escalate these issues and are working to reduce delays wherever possible. Further details will be shared in the Campaign Vetting Changes article as they become available.

Will I be charged for calls to disconnected numbers?

It depends. There are a few different ways a number you're attempting to call may be disconnected.

For outbound API and SIP trunking calls if the number is not a valid number Twilio will be unsuccessful in executing the phone call. If that's the case, Twilio will mark the call status as "Failed," and your project won't be charged.

For <Dial> calls, the incoming call to your Twilio number will be marked as completed as soon as we make the request to retrieve TwiML call processing instructions from your voice request URL regardless of what happens on the call generated by this TwiML. For example, an inbound call to a Twilio that results in an outbound call to an invalid destination would result in the inbound call being marked as completed, but the outbound call being marked as failed.

Other times, a number is disconnected because it belongs to a user who is delinquent. The carrier actually accepts the call. Then, their internal business logic determines that it should play an error message to the caller instead of ringing through. If that's the case, Twilio marks the call status as "Completed," and your project will be charged for the brief period it was connected.
