Phone Number Provisioning Limits during a Heightened Awareness Period for the 2020 US Elections

Policy updated as of September 28, 2020

Twilio anticipates significant spikes in provisioning of US-based phone numbers as we approach November's 2020 U.S. election. Due to the finite capacity of the U.S. messaging ecosystem, we're implementing a Heightened Awareness Period (HAP) from October 2, 2020until November 4, 2020.

Our goal for this short-term policy is to ensure that all customers have fair access to a secure and reliable network.During this Heightened Awareness Period, the following limitations will apply:

  • A maximum of 1,000,000 additional 10-digit long code phone numbers can be added to customers' existing accounts within the +1 country code. These numbers are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with inventory being added regularly.
