Twilio Changelog

Twilio Programmable Voice now offers a React Native SDK to assist customers in building voice-powered mobile apps. 

Introducing the SendGrid Engagement Quality Score now available via API! The SEQ score is a composite deliverability score that focuses on engagement related feedback from mailbox providers. The top level score will tell you at a glance how strong your deliverability is, but you can also drill down into your performance against the following 5 dimensions: Bounce Classification, Bounce rate, Engagement Recency, Open Rate and Spam Rate. Improving these dimensions will directly support optimizing deliverability and reach. You can find out more about the SEQ API here.

Effective February 21, 2024, Twilio will expand the Interconnect media IPs and port ranges for calls in all regions; we’ll also expand the RTP port range to 10000-60000 UDP. 

We’ve started migrating our non-Interconnect traffic, and we’ll migrate all Interconnect traffic to the expanded port ranges listed below before February 21, 2024. 

We’re making this change to improve the flexibility, reliability, and scalability of our Voice products. We previously communicated this change in November 2022 via Twilio Changelog. 

Update your network infrastructure to allowlist the new IP and port ranges below (in addition to the IP and port ranges your network infrastructure currently allows).

• 168.86.128.0/18
• UDP port range: 10000-60000 (expanding from 10000-20000)

For example, you will need to update your firewall and BGP prefix if you have a Cross Connect and Encryption Domain if you have a VPN.

Lastly, keep old IP and port ranges open in your infrastructure after February 21, 2024; these ranges won’t be able to accept or send Voice media traffic after this time, but they need to stay open for signaling and API traffic.

If you don’t take action by February 21, 2024, you will experience one-way audio and dropped calls.

Generic Pay Connector is now Generally Available. Generic Pay Connector provides you the ability to process charge and tokenization payment transactions with your payment gateway of choice in a PCI compliant manner. It includes support for credit card and ACH-debit payment methods. 

To use Generic Pay Connector, install and configure your connector in test mode, plug in your payment gateway URL and perform testing. When you're ready to go live, raise a support ticket and submit a valid PCI Attestation of Compliance (AoC) document of your payment gateway. For more details, check out our docs.

Effective October 10, 2023, Twilio will migrate the public media IPs and port ranges for Elastic SIP Trunking calls, Programmable SIP calls, Voice SDK calls, Flex calls, and SIPREC sessions in all regions. 

We’re moving from a per-region IP range allocation to a single global range (168.86.128.0/18), and we’re expanding the media port range from 10000-20000 to 10000-60000. We’re soft launching the new range as follows:

• September 26, 2023: 1% of all calls will use the new range
• October 5, 2023: 20% of all calls will use the new range 
• October 10, 2023: 100% of all calls will use the new range

Impacted Edge locations include: Sydney (AU1), São Paulo (BR1), Dublin (IE1), Frankfurt (DE1), Tokyo (JP1), Singapore (SG1), Ashburn (US1), Umatilla (US2). After the migration, Voice SDK calls can select US2 for GLL edge location selection.

We’re providing testing capabilities and we’ll offer opt-in for production traffic before the migration begins; however, these testing capabilities are intended for non-production traffic only. 

We are thrilled to announce that customers registering Brands and Campaigns for A2P Messaging can now set up subscriptions to events, which will notify when Brand or Campaign’s status changes. This setup and subscription is through Event Streams.

This new feature is designed to streamline your A2P registerations, making it easier than ever to manage your Brands and Campaigns. 

For more information on how to set up Event Streams and subscribe to notifications, be sure to check out our code samples and API guidelines in Twilio docs.
