Objective
This article shows you where to find hosted numbers in the Twilio Console, numbers that stay with your existing carrier while Twilio handles their messaging or voice traffic, so you can add and review them.
Product
Phone Numbers
Environment
Twilio Console
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select Communications in the left sidebar.
- Select Numbers & senders, then Port and host.
- The Port and Host page opens on the Port-in US Toll-free tab.
- Select the Host numbers tab.
- The Number Hosting Requests page opens, where you add and manage the numbers you host on Twilio.
Additional Information
Hosting is an alternative to porting: the number remains with your current carrier rather than transferring to Twilio. If you want to move the number to Twilio outright, use Port a number, Port-in US Local or Port-in US Toll-free instead.
Hosting a number requires proof that you are authorised to use it. The signed documents you provide are listed on the Authorization documents tab of the same page.
