Country specific emergency numbers.

Is it possible to use Twilio to call country specific emergency numbers. I already have the specific numbers (for each country) in my DB. My question is if I can use the sip-trunking emergency calling for dialing emergency numbers in other countries.

Twilio developer evangelist here.

You can place emergency number calls in some situations but there are limitations. you can read more about it here.

In summary, though, to enable emergency calling on a Twilio number you need to do the following:

  • Configure, validate and associate an address with your Twilio number (from the Numbers tab of your Trunk)
  • Enable Emergency Calling on that number

Emergency calls (911) will only be routed when Twilio Numbers enabled for Emergency Calling are used as the Caller-ID (SIP From: header). Emergency calls from any other number will be rejected.
