Hosting process
Our communication carrier Twilio needs to check if your number is ready to be hosted with them.
Two main conditions are:
- The number has to be a landline number
- If there is existing SMS Routing Profile on the number (also known as a "SPID"). In this case you will need to contact the current carrier and speak with the department responsible for routing SMS traffic. You need to express your desire to transfer your SMS traffic to Twilio.
Once we have your number ready to host, there are a few required steps we need to go through:
- Verify the Ownership - our support team will need to reach out to you and assist you with this process
- Sign the Letter of Authorization (LOA) - you will recieve the letter via email with instructions how to sign it online and forward back once you finish
- Carrier Processing & Carrier Testing - final testing conduct by Twilio
- Hosting Complete - confirmation that your number has been hosted with Twilio communication carrier
