60620: Lookup SIM Swap Information is Incomplete From Carrier

Twilio Lookup DocumentationLookup

Description

description page anchor

This error means the carrier returned an incomplete SIM Swap response for the requested phone number. Twilio could not determine whether a SIM swap occurred during your configured swapped_period. As of January 21, 2025, this error is billable for approved SIM Swap requests.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • The carrier was billed for the SIM Swap transaction but did not provide enough information for Twilio to determine whether a SIM swap occurred in the requested time period.
  • SIM Swap data availability and returned fields vary by carrier and country. During the beta phase, coverage may not include all major carriers in an otherwise supported country.
  • Your SIM Swap workflow depends on the last_sim_swap result, including swapped_period and swapped_in_period, but the carrier response did not include enough data to evaluate that result for this end user.
  • Do not retry the same SIM Swap request for this end user. The carrier did not return enough data to produce a complete result.
  • Treat the SIM Swap result as unavailable and fall back to another fraud check or verification step. Depending on your workflow, use step-up authentication through a different channel, withhold the transaction, place the account on hold, or require the user to speak with an agent.
  • Review how your application handles incomplete SIM Swap results so the request can continue safely when error_code is returned in the sim_swap object. Test that path with SIM Swap Magic Numbers and your test credentials, including +12345678916 to simulate 60620.
  • If your use case depends on a different time threshold, review your configured swapped_period. For countries that do not return last_sim_swap_date, Twilio sets swapped_in_period based on the onboarding configuration, and you can update that setting through Support.
