Warning

Public Beta for customers already using Proxy

Twilio's Proxy API is currently available as a Public Beta product. Some features are not yet implemented and others may be changed before the product is declared as Generally Available.

Public Beta products are not covered by a Twilio SLA(link takes you to an external page).

Twilio Proxy simplifies the task of masking the communications between two parties (aka masked phone numbers or masked calling). Proxy automatically provides a number and associates two numbers together in order to forward messages and calls back and forth.

With Proxy, Twilio facilitates any use case that can benefit from a temporary conversation between two parties.
