We’re always working hard to expand our global coverage, and today, we’re excited to announce that you can now use Twilio phone numbers in the following countries:

  • Local Voice numbers: Croatia, Hungary, Iceland, Kenya, Nigeria, Norway, Philippines, and Slovenia
  • Mobile SMS numbers: Latvia, Portugal, Republic of Korea, and Taiwan

With a local phone number, your customers can reach you by calling a familiar area code. The geographical prefix gives your business a local identity that customers recognize and trust. Mobile numbers with voice or sms capability allow your customers to communicate with you at local call and messaging rates, reducing friction and improving customer experience.

These new numbers are available now through the Twilio Console and the Phone Number API.

Toll-free numbers too

We’re also launching toll-free phone numbers in 10 new countries and want to give you first access. If you’re interested in trying out these new numbers, sign up for a developer preview.

  • Toll-free Voice numbers: Brazil, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, and Switzerland.

These numbers have gone through a rigorous performance and reliability testing process. As a next step, we are offering these numbers by request as a developer preview, so we can verify the quality with real world testing.

We have thoroughly vetted these numbers and don’t expect issues, but we advise against using test numbers in production. Also, we may have limited stock of preview numbers, so bear with us if we’re unable to accommodate your request.

If you’re interested in testing with developer preview numbers, get in touch!

We can’t wait to see what you build!!
