# Select Telnyx Traffic Type: A2P or P2P

### 10, Oct 2019

Telnyx now allows you to select the traffic type that best suits your usage: **Application-to-Person (A2P) or Person-to-Person (P2P)**.

Previously, Telnyx would monitor all new numbers before designating them as A2P or P2P, and customers would have to send a request to make a change. But now, switching from A2P to P2P is as simple as clicking a button.

_Please note that the ability to choose your traffic type only applies to numbers eligible for both A2P and P2P traffic._
