First-Time Setup: Choose Your Strategy
When you access the Phone Numbers tab for the first time and select Twilio, you must choose how you want to manage your telephony infrastructure.Path A: Your Own Account (BYOT)
Choose this option if you already have a Twilio account and want full ownership, compliance control, and direct billing from Twilio.Confirm Selection
A confirmation modal will appear. Click Continue Setup to lock in your configuration.

Enter Credentials
Provide a Friendly Name for your integration, along with your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token. These can be found in your Twilio Console. Click Connect Account.

When to choose BYOT: If you need regulatory compliance control, already have Twilio numbers, want to keep telephony billing separate from Agni, or need access to Twilio’s full feature set.
Path B: Managed Account
Choose this option if you want a zero-configuration experience. Agni will manage the underlying infrastructure, and telephony usage will be deducted directly from your Agni credit balance.Accept Terms and Conditions
Because Agni handles the billing and compliance for Managed Accounts, you must review and accept the telephony terms.
