Monitoring -
Our PSTN Provider has taken steps to mitigate this issue. Here is their most recent update from their status page https://status.twilio.com/incidents/5b8wmb5djj4g
Currently, our baseline call functionality has been restored and is operating normally. Users should experience no issues with standard voice calls. We are also fully recovered on both inbound and outbound Flex calls. Our team is working diligently to resolve any residual issues to minimize any disruption to our users. We will provide another update in 30 minutes or as soon as more information becomes available.
We have seen this in our testing and logging as well and will continue to monitor the situation. We will follow up in an hour or earlier if there are any major updates. At this time, calls should work as expected across all platforms. If you experience any issues, please hang up and try the call again after waiting 30 seconds. Thank you and sorry again for the disruption.

Update -
We are in conversation with our PSTN Partner. They are actively working towards a fix. This is their most recent update about the work that they are doing:
[Twilio continues] investigating a service interruption affecting Twilio Voice services, impacting both inbound and outbound calls, including calls with Flex Services. Customers may experience degraded audio quality or difficulties connecting new calls. Our engineering team is actively working on identifying and resolving the cause. We aim to provide another update within 1 hour or as soon as more information becomes available.
In our testing, we are seeing intermittent success with OPI calls placed through IVR, the Web, and Mobile platforms. While all calls are still not connecting, we have seen a decrease in errors and an increase in success rates. VRI services remain unimpacted.
We will continue to test, monitor, and provide updates here every 30 minutes or less as we have relevant information to share.

Update -
These issues are related to an active incident reported by our PSTN carrier through their status page here: https://status.twilio.com/incidents/5b8wmb5djj4g
[Twilio's] monitoring systems have detected a potential issue with inbound and outbound calls. Our engineering team has been alerted and is actively investigating. We will update as soon as we have more information.
Right now, for languages where VRI is available, we recommend requesting VRI if possible. We will monitor this situation and provide an update once we have one. Thank you.

Investigating -
We are investigating reports of silence once inbound OPI calls are connected to an interpreter or operator. If you connect to a call and experience silence, we recommend waiting 60 seconds and attempting your call again.
We will follow up with additional information here as soon as we have it. Please subscribe to ensure you receive updates as soon as they are available.
