Hosted Numbers Eligibility API Now in Public Beta for US and Canada

We are excited to announce the launch of the Hosted Numbers Eligibility API, now available in Public Beta. This new feature streamlines the process of determining whether non-Twilio phone numbers can host SMS with Twilio.

What's New: 

The Hosted Numbers Eligibility API enables customers to get immediate insights into the eligibility of phone numbers for hosting SMS with Twilio. Previously, clients faced a waiting period of over two business days to confirm number eligibility, with the introduction of this API, that time is reduced to mere minutes.

Key Benefits:

  • Rapid Eligibility Checks: Determine the eligibility of up to 1,000 numbers in a single request, significantly accelerating the hosting SMS process.

  • Detailed Response Data: Receive comprehensive information with eligibility_sub_status, ineligibility_reason, and next_step parameters, providing clear guidance on the status of each number.

  • Improved User Experience: Gain a better understanding of your numbers' hosting capabilities, enabling more informed decision-making and planning.

Why It Matters: 

The Hosted Numbers Eligibility API is a game-changer for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who manage SMS texting across a large volume of phone numbers. By offering immediate eligibility results and detailed feedback, this API empowers our clients to save time and improve their operational efficiency.

We are committed to enhancing our clients' experience and are eager to hear your feedback on this new feature. Try out the Hosted Numbers Eligibility API today and streamline your SMS hosting process with Twilio.
