@AI Evy can you only associate one phone number to one retell Agent? is there a concept where you can have multiple agents using one number?

Thanks for tagging me @Liquidsushi. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### Answer For inbound calls, you typically bind one agent to one phone number. [(1) ]() However, you can achieve multiple-agent functionality using a single number through Agent Transfer. [(2) ]() [(3) ]() Agent Transfer allows you to transfer a conversation from one AI agent to another during the same call. For example, you could transfer from a front-desk agent to an appointment-booking agent, or from an agent in one language to another agent handling a different language. Key advantages of Agent Transfer include: - Lower latency than traditional call transfers - Better reliability (no new phone call needed) - The destination agent has access to full conversation history - No separate numbers needed for receiving agents For outbound calls, you can use the same phone number with different agents by leveraging dynamic variables or multi-state agents to handle different use cases from a single number.
