I am trying to work on Twilio Copilot. I have created the SID.I have also assigned a UK number .I need to send messages to UK, US and South africa for now.
I am currently facing problem is sending messages to US. Do i need to assign a seperate US number for it to work (Same for Other Countries)?
I am using C# Twilio 4.7.2 library.

Twilio developer evangelist here.
My guess is that you have a UK landline number. That is a number that currently supports voice and messaging and starts +441, +442 or +443.
UK landline numbers cannot currently send international SMS.
If you still want to use a UK number to send international messages, you can get a UK mobile number, which will start +447, though currently these numbers do not support incoming voice calls.
Best practice for sending international messages is to try to use a local number to send them. When you are using Copilot it will automatically geomatch the best number to the location you are sending to.
