Twilio Err - 21215

Frequency: Very High Common name Geo Perm issue

This error occurs when attempting to make an outbound call to a phone number that is not enabled on the Twilio account. By default, Twilio blocks certain high-risk/spam-prone countries like India, Pakistan, and others to prevent fraudulent activity.

Since most countries are disabled by default, this error is triggered when a user tries to call a restricted country.

Resolution:

The fix is simple. Enable geographic permissions of the country in the Twilio console.

Steps to enable:

  1. Go to the Twilio Console
  2. Navigate to Verify Settings > Geo Permissions
  3. Select the countries you want to allow for outbound calls
  4. Save the changes
