Error 21212

ERROR - 21212

Invalid From Number (caller ID)

You attempted to initiate an outbound phone call or message, but the 'From' parameter you supplied was not a valid phone number or alphanumeric sender ID.

Twilio accepts phone numbers in E.164 format (i.e. "+1 format"), 10-digit US and Canadian numbers with any combination of non-digit separators, or Alphanumeric Sender IDs (SMS only) with up to 11 alphanumeric characters [a-zA-Z0-9]. Refer to this page for acceptable characters.

The number must not be on a do-not-originate (DNO) list, and Alpha Sender IDs may not be generic.

Possible Causes

• You have supplied a phone number that was not in E.164 format
• Your From phone number is on a do-not-originate (DNO) list
• Your alphanumeric sender ID is blocked or too generic

Possible Solutions

• Ensure your number is formatted in E.164 format
• Ensure that your From number is assigned and not on a do-not-originate (DNO) list.
• Ensure you are not using a Messaging alphanumeric sender ID that is too generic (for example, "SMS" or "INFO").
• If you are getting this error when using a non-generic alphanumeric sender ID, please submit a support ticket for further assistance.
