Bot Answering My Telnyx Calls — Why?
Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with outbound calls and hoping someone can help or share insights.
On 25–26 Nov 2025, almost all calls made through Vapi using our Telnyx SIP numbers were answered by a “bot”, but the recipients didn’t actually receive any calls.
I tested with my own number — I didn’t get anything, but Vapi logs show the call was “bot-answered” for about 6 minutes, and it charged around $0.40.
What’s strange is:
Everything worked normally before that
It only happens with Telnyx SIP numbers
Our Twilio number works fine
Has anyone experienced something like this?
Could this be a Telnyx routing issue or something on the Vapi side?
