Possible reasons why we can’t move the numbers: #

1. Different Twilio Master Accounts
If the source number is under a different Twilio master account, you’ll need to manually request the transfer via Twilio Support. 

To perform this action, both Twilio account owners will need open a ticket with Twilio support here:

Moving Twilio Phone Numbers to another Twilio Account

You can identify the Account SID in the Agency Settings > Twilio page > https://app.aiphilia.com/settings/phone_integration

Create a support ticket with Twilio support with the following details:

Email Subject: Moving numbers request

Email Template:

Hi Twilio Support,

I would like to move the following phone number(s) to a new sub-account –

+1 PASTE_TWILIO_NUMBER_HERE 

Losing sub-account SID – E.g. AC8a0eac4ea7651eba06137bbf1a907df62d < Replace the Twilio sub-account SID where the number is currently in 

Gaining sub-account SID – E.g. AC8a0eac4ea7651eba06137bbf1a907df62d < Replace the Twilio sub-account SID here where the number should be moved to

Time-frame: ASAP

Please process this request at the earliest because it is business-critical for me

Thanks!

2. Regulatory Bundles / Address Not Configured
Certain numbers (e.g., Australian numbers +61) require verified bundles/addresses on the destination sub-account. Without them, the number cannot be moved.

To move the number, please set up a bundle/address in the destination subaccount: Purchase Twilio Number – “Please Select Bundle/Address to Purchase Number”

After the steps are done in the article above, please create a support ticket with Twilio support using the template above.

Error: Request failed with status code 400

3. LC Phone Transfer Failures

If both sub-accounts are on LC Phone and the tool isn’t working, please contact Aiphilia support to move the numbers for you, provide the location id of the numbers you are trying to move from and to

If the tool doesn’t work for LC Phone to LC Phone transfers:

  • Moving numbers

Note- Once you provide us with the information above, we will be able to identify the account SID and submit this in the escalation notes for the specialist to create a ticket with Twilio.
