# Cannot add my number to Voice/SMS channel

Answer:

Are you using Twilio?&#x20;

Have you used this number to create a WhatsApp bot? If yes, you will need to delete the WhatsApp bot and remove the connection on the WhatsApp channel. Then add the number again in Voice and SMS channel.

You can use the same number on both Voice and SMS channels but these 2 are incompatible with the WhatsApp channel.

A Twilio number connected with UChat Whatsapp bot cannot be used for anything else.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.uchat.com.au/cannot-add-my-number-to-voice-sms-channel.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
