Common SIP Response Codes
The following table contains common SIP response codes for calls that do not complete.
SIP Response | Message | Description |
401 Unauthorized 407 Proxy Authentication Required |
The request requires user authentication. | These responses should be automatically responded to with an ACK and another INVITE that includes the required credentials. If not, verify your SIP Trunk or Domain credentials are correct. |
403 Forbidden |
The request can't be fulfilled. | Request is valid, but the destination may have rejected or blocked the incoming call. Have the callee check their side to make sure calls aren't blocked. |
404 Not Found |
The destination doesn't exist, or can't be found. | The destination number may not be valid, or not in service. Double check the destination number. |
480 Temporarily Unavailable |
The destination is currently unavailable. | The destination number is not answering, or unable to answer. They may be out of service, roaming, or not accepting calls. Often seen when calling wireless phones that don't answer and don't have voicemail. |

After a call has finished, the following final status options are possible:

A successfully connected call has now been disconnected. Completed calls will remain in this state in going forward. |
Busy |
Twilio dialed the number, but received a busy response. |
No-answer |
Twilio dialed the number but no one answered before the timeout parameter value elapsed. This can be configured for each call, but by default is set to 60 seconds on outbound API calls, and 30 seconds on outbound <Dial> calls. |
Canceled |
Prior to being answered, an outbound call was cancelled via an HTTP POST request to the REST API, or an incoming call was disconnected by the calling party. |
Failed |
Twilio's carriers could not connect the call. Possible causes include the destination is unreachable, or the number may have been input incorrectly. Check the Last SIP Response for more information. |
