Thanks for tagging me @Zai. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
Feel free to tag @AI Evy with additional questions. I also appreciate feedback, it helps me improve.
​ To learn more, see the sources I considered: [[1] Apply for verified phone number](https://docs.retellai.com/build/telephony/verified-phone) [[2] Twilio](https://docs.retellai.com/deploy/twilio) [[3] Can't buy any kind of phone number and can't make calls from Twilio SIP trunks](https://discord.com/channels/1186424376300679209/1346176685246255145) ​
### Answer Based on the available sources, verified phone numbers are only available for U.S. numbers at this time [(1) ]() . The sources don't provide specific information about purchasing or verifying phone numbers for the Philippines. For international numbers outside the U.S., you have a couple of options: 1. **Import a number via SIP trunking**: You can connect Retell to a custom telephony provider like Twilio using elastic SIP trunking [(2) ]() . This allows you to use numbers you own from providers that support Philippine numbers. 2. **Contact support**: If you're experiencing verification issues or account holds, you may need to reach out to Retell support directly [(3) ]() . If you need help with international calling or specific country support, I recommend checking the documentation on international calling or contacting Retell support for guidance on Philippine number availability.
