Dual Functionality (Voice and SMS enabled) Phone Numbers
Twilio phone numbers from the following countries have dual functionality and can be used to make/receive phone calls as well as to send/receive messages. International permissions to make calls or send SMS to other countries can be enabled for Voice and SMS respectively.
Please note, all Twilio SMS-capable numbers can be used to send one-way SMS to other countries, with the exception of the United States which can only receive SMS from US and Canada numbers.

The rest of the world...
Twilio is in the process of providing phone numbers in more countries as quickly as we can. Each country has different regulations regarding the purchase and sale of telephone numbers, so we are not able to provide a timeline on when numbers in a specific country will be available.
You can make outbound voice calls from any country in the world by validating the caller ID of a phone number you already own in that country.
