when we use the transformer to send SMS to an international number, we are getting this error ( The 'To' number 9665657892 is not a valid phone number)
as you can see it removing the + sign from the number
( the number is only for reference)
same test was done on twilio platfro and its working
Hi @boubcher, Twilio uses E.164 phone number formatting for all non-USA phone numbers. It looks like the TwilioSMSSender is assuming the 9665657892 phone number is North American and removing the +, if it is North American, add a 1 in front of it. If it isn't, you should use the Twilio provided phone number converter to change the number into the E.164 format.
Hope that helps!

thanks,@lizsanderson
we did enter the phone nuber respecting the E164 standard but it didn't work, I from the inspector noticed that FME is removing the "+" sign from the phone number

Do you get the same issue with the TwilioCaller?
Hi there!
I am experiencing the same problem. In the Twilio Console I did configure the SMS Geographic Permission to be able to send a text to a foreign number and it does work on the Twilio site, but when I try to run the TwilioSMSSender Transformer in FME it removes the + sign and says Error 21211 The 'To' number ... is not a valid phone number. I also did verify the number on my Twilio console.
Can anyone help me with this?
Is it because I am using a Trial account? Or is it some other setting that I need to configure before I can get it to work?
FYI the TwilioSMSSender does work when I try to send a text to a number that is in the same country.
Thank you in advance!
