I have just created the retell account and i need to patch in telephony to retell.
Hey @vishnu Here’s how to connect your Twilio number to Retell via Elastic SIP Trunking:
Step 1: Create an Elastic SIP Trunk in Twilio
- Set up Termination (outbound): Note the Termination SIP URI. Whitelist Retell’s IP block
18.98.16.120/30or set up username/password auth. - Set up Origination (inbound): Use
sip:sip.retellai.comas the origination SIP URI.
Step 2: Move your number to the SIP Trunk
- In Twilio, assign your existing number to the elastic SIP trunk.
Step 3: Import the number into Retell
- In the Retell dashboard, import the number and supply the Termination SIP URI (and credentials if using auth).
Once imported, the number works just like a Retell-purchased number for inbound/outbound calls.
See the full guide here: Twilio Integration

Thank You
This video is very helpful and easy to follow.
I like the retell interface and the way agents can be built. It is very intuitive. But I am unable to easily connect a SIP phone to the system. My existing SIP provider requires the system to authenticate, but despite putting the details in on ReTell, it doesn’t work because Retell doesn’t actually authenticate and connect to the SIP. The suggested alternative was to get a Twilio number - which was also fairly time consuming, and not the easiest system to navigate. However, now having got a number on Twilio, it is mind bogglingly complicated to connect it. Who and how can I feedback that this step needs to be made much simpler.
