Before ordering
Twilio's Dutch mobile inventory uses dedicated 0970 machine-to-machine ranges. Its stated purposes are automated messaging; standard person-to-person voice/personal telephony is prohibited. Do not treat “mobile” as a normal inbound voice option.
These are preparation notes, not a stock or approval guarantee. Check the exact number's Voice capability and current registration form. For shared terms and the ordering steps, see the overview.
