You can now edit phone provider settings directly from existing channels, making number migration and configuration easier than ever.

Managing multiple phone providers just got a whole lot smoother. With this update, Whippy users can now edit provider-specific phone settings from within any existing channel, including hosted numbers originally configured under a different provider (e.g. migrating from Telnyx to Twilio).

What’s New

  • Editable Provider Settings in Channels No need to rebuild or manually reconfigure channels. You can now adjust provider phone settings directly from your current channel interface.
  • Multi-Provider Support Made Simple Whether you’re switching providers or optimizing infrastructure, this update supports hosted numbers across providers like Twilio, Telnyx, and others.

Why This Matters

Previously, if a number was already linked to a provider-specific channel, there was no way to fully update its configuration without starting over. That created friction for teams who needed to:

  • Move between VoIP or SIP providers
  • Migrate hosted numbers
  • Ensure accurate capabilities (voice, SMS, routing)

With this update, teams can:

  • Seamlessly migrate phone numbers between providers
  • Maintain full control over channel configurations
  • Avoid rebuilding channels from scratch

This change reduces setup time, simplifies workflows, and adds flexibility to your telephony infrastructure.

Ideal For Teams That:

  • Manage VoIP-based sales or support systems
  • Use multiple telecom providers for flexibility or cost optimization
  • Need to maintain accurate provider-specific configurations without technical overhead
