@AI Evy I need inbound telephony enabled for my workspace. I’m using a UK +44 Twilio number and want to forward inbound calls to a Retell voice agent. Please enable Bring Your Own Twilio (BYOT) or inbound telephony on my workspace.#

Thanks for tagging me @Izaak. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
​ To learn more, see the sources I considered: [[1] I’m trying to use a toll-free number (connected from Twilio through a SIP trunk)](https://retell.discourse.group/t/i-m-trying-to-use-a-toll-free-number-connected-from-twilio-through-a-sip-trunk/127) [[2] Import Phone Number](https://docs.retellai.com/api-references/import-phone-number) ​
### Answer I'm not able to enable features on your workspace—that's something you'll need to configure yourself or request from Retell support directly. However, you can set up your UK Twilio number with Retell using Elastic SIP Trunking. Here's what you need to do: 1. Configure Twilio Elastic SIP Trunk [(1) ]() - Create an elastic SIP trunk in Twilio with proper termination settings (for outbound) - Set up origination (for inbound) with Retell's SIP server address:
sip:sip.retellai.com
2. Import the Number to Retell - After moving your Twilio number to the elastic SIP trunk, import it to Retell - Supply the termination SIP URI you set up in Twilio - If you configured auth via credentials, provide the username and password as well You can import via the dashboard (Phone Numbers → "Connect via SIP Trunking") or programmatically using the Import Phone Number API: [(2) ]()
Copy code
javascript
import Retell from 'retell-sdk';
const client = new Retell({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_RETELL_API_KEY',
}) ;
const phoneNumberResponse = await client.phoneNumber.import({
  phone_number: '+447XXXXXXXXX',
  termination_uri: 'someuri.pstn.twilio.com',
}) ;
3. Bind an Inbound Agent - Set the
inbound_agent_id
to your voice agent's ID when importing the number For detailed setup instructions, see: [Import Phone Number]() If you need account-level changes or run into issues, reach out via [Contact Sales]() .
