Imports a claimed phone number from an external service, such as Amazon Pinpoint, into an Amazon Connect instance. You can call this API only in the same Amazon Web Services Region where the Amazon Connect instance was created.
Call the DescribePhoneNumber API to verify the status of a previous ImportPhoneNumber operation. If you plan to claim or import numbers and then release numbers frequently, contact us for a service quota exception. Otherwise, it is possible you will be blocked from claiming and releasing any more numbers until up to 180 days past the oldest number released has expired.
By default you can claim or import and then release up to 200% of your maximum number of active phone numbers. If you claim or import and then release phone numbers using the UI or API during a rolling 180 day cycle that exceeds 200% of your phone number service level quota, you will be blocked from claiming or importing any more numbers until 180 days past the oldest number released has expired.
For example, if you already have 99 claimed or imported numbers and a service level quota of 99 phone numbers, and in any 180 day period you release 99, claim 99, and then release 99, you will have exceeded the 200% limit. At that point you are blocked from claiming any more numbers until you open an Amazon Web Services Support ticket.
