Twilio Elastic SIP

Connect a Twilio Elastic SIP Trunk to Edesy as a bring-your-own carrier - IP-authenticated gateway, E.164 with a leading plus, and the origination and termination settings on the Twilio side.

2 min read

To use a Twilio Elastic SIP Trunk with Edesy, register it as an IP-authenticated carrier whose gateway is your trunk's Twilio termination host, with numbers sent in E.164 with a leading +. On the Twilio side, allow Edesy's IP for termination and add an origination URI pointing to Edesy, so calls flow both ways.

Values#

Setting Value
Auth to Twilio IP access control list (no registration)
Gateway <your-trunk>.pstn.twilio.com, port 5060, UDP
Number format E.164 with + (e164_leading_plus: true)
Edesy SIP address for Twilio origination Given to you during onboarding, port 5070

1. Register the carrier on Edesy#

curl -X POST https://voice-api.edesy.in/v1/trunk-portal/trunks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Twilio",
    "e164_leading_plus": true,
    "host": "your-trunk.pstn.twilio.com",
    "port": 5060,
    "protocol": "udp",
    "numbers": ["+1XXXXXXXXXX"]
  }'

2. Configure the Twilio trunk#

In the Twilio console, open your Elastic SIP Trunk:

  1. Termination (Edesy to Twilio): note the termination SIP URI (this is your gateway host) and add Edesy's signalling IP to an IP Access Control List on the trunk.
  2. Origination (Twilio to Edesy): add an origination URI of sip:<edesy-sip-address>:5070, using the address from onboarding.
  3. Numbers: attach the numbers you listed in step 1 to the trunk.

3. Test#

  • Outbound: POST/v1/calls with from set to one of your Twilio numbers.
  • Inbound: dial the Twilio number. The call should arrive at Edesy and run the application linked to the number.

FAQ#

Why IP auth instead of credentials?#

Twilio Elastic SIP termination supports IP access control lists, which avoids per-call passwords. Twilio also supports credential lists; if you use one, set requires_register and the register fields instead.

My outbound calls get 403 from Twilio.#

Edesy's IP is not in the trunk's IP Access Control List, or the caller ID is not a number on your Twilio account.

Inbound calls never reach Edesy.#

Check the origination URI, including port 5070, and that the number is attached to the trunk.
