How do I change the friendly name of a phone number? – Twilio Support

Objective

This article shows you how to rename a phone number so it is easier to recognise in your inventory and in logs.

Phone Numbers

Twilio Console

In the Twilio Console, select Communications in the left sidebar.
Select Numbers & senders, then Overview.
Select Phone Numbers, then My Inventory.
Select the actions menu on the number's row and choose View numbers details.
In the page header, select Edit friendly name.
Enter the new name in Friendly Name and select Save.
A confirmation message appears: You have successfully updated the friendly name.

The friendly name is a label for your own use, it does not change the phone number itself, its capabilities or its routing.

Short codes have the same Edit friendly name action on their details page header.

If the update fails, a message appears asking you to try again.
