Manually Get A Number

In order to follow this guide you will need to first complete the Twilio Setup to ensure all Twilio API keys are properly configured.

Limitations

Twilio phone numbers come with certain limitations based on the country you choose. Not all countries are supported, and availability varies depending on Twilio’s regulations and partnerships. Additionally, some phone numbers may have restricted functionality. For example, certain numbers may only be able to receive calls and texts but cannot make outbound calls or send messages. It is important to review Twilio’s country and feature availability to ensure the number you obtain meets your specific needs.

Buy A Number

Head over to your Twilio dashboard and then navigate to 'Buy A Number'. Search through Twilios repository of numbers and purchase a phone number. Make sure you understand the capabilities of the phone number you are trying to purchase as some phone numbers from certain countires may hav receiving capabilities but arent able to make outgoing texts or phone calls.

Configure Number

After you purchase a phone number head over to 'Active numbers' and click on the phone number you just purchased. Update the Voice and Message Configuration to configure with 'TwiML App' and select the TwiML App you created in the setup process. It is also recommended to add an emergency address just in case an emergency call occurs.

Add Number To WordPress User

Now head over to your WordPress admin panel and go to the DialBunny 'Add' page to add the number to a specific WordPress users account. Make sure to separate the country code from the phone number and enter them into the corresponding input fields.
