Requirements for Calling US and Canada Numbers (+1 Country Code)

Issue

  • Since July 15th, 2024 you must have an approved Business Primary Customer Profile or Primary Customer Profile(PCP) to make outbound calls to +1 numbers.
  • Effective October 8, 2025, Twilio accounts created outside the US and Canada are restricted from dialling +1 numbers by default. To gain access, a Business Primary Customer Profile is required. As a result, any Individual Primary Customer Profile created after October 8, 2025 will experience failed calls to +1 destinations. This restriction applies only to accounts created after this date — Individual Primary Customer Profiles established prior to October 8, 2025 are not affected. 

 

Product

  • Programmable Voice
  • Elastic Sip Trunking

 

Cause

To maintain trust in the communications ecosystem and comply with regulatory and carrier obligations, Twilio requires additional verification for outbound calls to US and Canadian phone numbers.

These measures help protect against fraudulent and phishing-related voice activity, ensuring a safer experience for you.
