## What is a boundary elimination overlay?
A boundary elimination overlay for the Phoenix metro area means the three area codes serving the Phoenix metro area will all serve the same geographic area. There will no longer be a boundary between the 480, 602 and 623 area codes; instead, the three area codes will all serve the same combined geographic region. 

A boundary elimination overlay does not require telephone users to change their existing area code or phone number. It also does not change the way you dial calls. You’ll still use 10-digit dialing; dial the area code and phone number for all local calls, just as you do now.

## Who is affected?
__Beginning February 11, 2023, anyone with a 602 or 623 area code should begin using 10 digits__ (area code + phone number) when dialing all local calls (Mandatory 10-digit dialing has already been implemented in the 480 area code). This includes all local calls which currently allow 7-digit dialing. During the permissive 10-digit dialing period, if you forget and only dial 7 digits, your calls will still complete. The permissive 10-digit dialing period will remain in place until August 12, 2023. 

__Beginning August 12, 2023, 10-digit dialing will become mandatory__ for anyone with a 602 and 623 area code, and their calls that do not include the area code will not complete. If you forget and only dial 7 digits, you will hear a recorded message that advises you to include the area code, and you will need to hang up and re-dial your call including the area code.

### What do you need to do?
Customers in the overlay region should:

- Dial 1 + area code + phone number for all local calls
- Identify and store phone numbers as 10-digit numbers (always include the area code, even if the number is local)
- Update your equipment if needed to ensure it is programmed for 10-digit dialing (for example: fax machines, medical alert devices, alarm systems, voicemail, and call forwarding settings)
- Ensure that all personal and business items include your area code (for example: pet ID tags, business cards, and advertising material)

### What remains the same?
The following will remain the same for customers nationwide:

- Your current telephone number
- The price of a call, coverage area or other rates 
- What is considered a local call
- The way you dial a phone number (you will still use 10-digit dialing for local calls, and 1+10 digits for long distance)
- Dialing existing 3-digit numbers such as 911, 211, 311, and so on

We're excited to debut [Telnyx Storage](https://telnyx.com/products/cloud-storage) in beta. Businesses and developers building data-rich apps and experiences can now access our S3-compatible API. 

Simply [log into your Mission Control Portal account](https://portal.telnyx.com/) to start creating your first buckets.

We're excited to debut Telnyx Storage in open beta. Businesses and developers building data-rich apps and experiences can now access our S3-compatible API. 

Telnyx Storage is now available in open beta

Earlier this year [Telnyx announced](https://telnyx.com/release-notes/voice-api-dialogflow-integration "Dialogflow ES integration") an integration with Telnyx Voice API and Dialogflow ES (Essentials) that enabled Telnyx voice customers to send audio calls to Dialogflow ES and receive a response from the call bot. 

Today, Telnyx is excited to expand on this effort through the integration with Dialogflow CX (Customer Experience) and the Telnyx Voice API. 

__What is the difference between Dialogflow ES and CX?__

[Dialogflow](https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/es/docs "Google Dialogflow") is a natural language understanding platform from Google that aims to make it easy for developers to design and integrate a conversational user interface into a range of communication applications built based on Voice APIs. 

Dialogflow CX is a more advanced agent type than the ES model, and is designed to meet the needs of larger, enterprise organizations that are dealing with more sophisticated agents. 
Dialogflow can respond with either synthetic speech played on the call or text formats in webhooks, which you can customize to your application. 

Users can get started with the integration by following our [developer tutorial](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/voice/programmable-voice/dialogflow-es). 

Telnyx expands its Voice API capabilities with Dialogflow CX integration.

We are excited to announce that Direct Routing from Telnyx is now generally available with support for Dynamic Location Routing (DLR).

__What is Dynamic Location Routing?__

Dynamic Location Routing is required for VoIP providers to comply with the most up-to-date e911 guidelines–[Kari’s Law and the Ray Baum Act](https://telnyx.com/resources/karis-law-ray-baum "Kari's Law and Ray Baum Act").

Presence Information Data Format – Location Object (PIDF-LO) is a XML tag format that allows the precise location data to be sent in a SIP header which can then be used by Emergency Services at Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). 

__Why is PIDF-LO important for DLR?__

PIDF-LO means emergency services have the precise location where the 911 call is being made from, meaning they can send assistance to where the person is located. 

With PIDF-LO now supported for Direct Routing, Microsoft Teams users will be able to benefit from DLR. When a call is placed to 911 services, the location of the worker–down to the suite or floor–will be passed through to the correct PSAP.

You can get started with Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams by following the [setup guide](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/voice/sip-trunking/microsoft-teams "Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams Setup") [reaching out](https://telnyx.com/contact-us "Contact Us") to a member of our team. 

Telnyx's Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams now supports DLR for enhanced e911 compliance. Discover PIDF-LO's role in precise location data.

You can now complete this registration in two ways–by submitting [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18A-lyp1-S4J56FGgH7cjtEhqHfsg4SlDjQgVwKBdSgQ/closedform) or via the new API. 

Registration via the API allows for added flexibility and visibility, including bulk use case submissions and ability to track status of submitted TFNs. Visit our [developer documentation](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/messaging/toll-free) to set up toll-free use case registration by API, or review our [support knowledge base](https://support.telnyx.com/en/articles/5353868-toll-free-messaging) for further information on toll free messaging.


Register your toll-free messaging use cases with Telnyx's new API. Streamline the process, submit in bulk, and track TFN statuses for industry compliance.

The Telnyx Messaging API now supports toll-free messaging use case registration.

Customers in the overlay region should:

- Continue to dial 1 + area code + phone number for all local calls
- Continue to identify and store phone numbers as 10-digit numbers (always include the area code, even if the number is local)
