Moving existing Messaging numbers to Telnyx is now much easier.

With our updated V2 Porting Order API, users can fully automate migration of messaging-enabled phone numbers in the US and Canada.

Previously this was a more unwieldy process which often required manual intervention from the user.

More advanced developers can keep updated on their port requests via webhook notifications. Plus, in the unlikely event there is an issue, our Operations team will proactively engage the carrier on your behalf.

Today, Telnyx is excited to announce the release of HTTP requests functionality for all of our TeXML users. 

Previously, using our dynamic low-code solution, TeXML, users didn’t have the option of getting data from external systems. Now they do! Users will now be able to integrate their systems using HTTP requests from a TeXML file without needing their own server-side application.

The functionality allows users to retrieve required information for the call flow from external systems and makes it possible to send notifications to any REST API.

To learn more about this feature, please review the tutorial and feel free to [reach out](https://telnyx.com/contact-us) to a member of our sales team with any additional questions.

 Users will now be able to integrate their systems using HTTP requests from a TeXML file without needing their own server-side application.

We recently added local calling services to 14 additional countries–Albania, Argentina, Bosnia And Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Chile, Costa Rica, Georgia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Panama, Peru, Serbia and Thailand.

Local calling is the ability to pass calls over a national network and present numbers in the local format. Local calling gives calling parties using Telnyx CLIs the ability to guarantee localized CLI. Local calling typically provides increased quality, higher ACD (Average Call Duration) and reduced PDD (Post-dial delay).

You can get started with local calling from Telnyx by [signing in](https://portal.telnyx.com "Mission Control Portal") to your Mission Control Portal account and [purchasing a number](https://portal.telnyx.com/#/app/numbers/search-numbers "Number Search and Order") from any of the 48 markets where we offer this service.

Telnyx broadens local calling services to countries like Japan, New Zealand, and Israel.

Today we’re excited to launch our new Number Requirements tool in the Mission Control Portal. 

As a global carrier, Telnyx offers customers the ability to purchase or port a wide variety of phone numbers across the globe. Depending on the country and number type, you may be required to provide additional information or documentation for orders to successfully process and phone numbers to activate.

This new tool allows Telnyx users to view the supplemental information or documentation required to activate numbers ahead of time. This will help our customers better plan number ports and orders so they can avoid unforeseen wait times and get communicating quickly. 

Take a look at a quick demo to see how it works:

<div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 53.125%; height: 0;"><iframe src="https://www.loom.com/embed/c31f8fa2b3ef42d9b55b7c4f0ee9ee0a" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe></div>

*Note that this tool only retrieves information on numbers in regions that require supplemental information for number porting and ordering. Therefore countries with no requirements for number porting or ordering will return as null in this table.*

*If you have questions about country coverage please [reach out](https://telnyx.com/contact-us "Contact Us") to a member of our sales team.* 


Our new tool will help you understand what is required for you to port or purchase a number in a specific country.

## 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

Phoenix's area code update: 480, 602, and 623 serve the same area. Get 10-digit dialing for all local calls, essential after August 12, 2023.

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.
