Voice calling is now a capability on the existing TwilioSms rather than
a separate Voice model. A single Twilio phone number handles both SMS
and voice calls through one inbox.
Fixes
https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-6683/add-voice-calling-as-a-capability-on-twilio-sms-channel
and https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/PLA-120/add-the-support-for-sms
**What changed**
- Replaced Channel::Voice with voice_enabled flag on Channel::TwilioSms
- Added voice_enabled, twiml_app_sid, api_key_secret columns to
channel_twilio_sms table
- Dropped channel_voice table (no production data)
- All voice logic lives in Enterprise layer via
prepend_mod_with('Channel::TwilioSms')
- Added Voice settings tab on Twilio SMS inbox settings to
enable/disable voice
- Validates Twilio number voice capability before provisioning
- Teardown service cleans up TwiML app and credentials when voice is
disabled
- Frontend voice detection uses isVoiceCallEnabled() /
getVoiceCallProvider() helpers — extensible to future providers
- Gated by channel_voice feature flag
**How to test**
1. Enable feature flag:
Account.find(<id>).enable_features('channel_voice')
2. Create voice inbox: Inboxes → Voice tile → enter Twilio credentials →
verify incoming/outgoing calls and SMS work
3. Enable voice on existing SMS inbox: Inboxes → select Twilio SMS inbox
→ Voice tab → toggle on → provide API key credentials → verify calls
work
4. Disable voice: Voice tab → toggle off → verify TwiML app is deleted,
credentials cleared, SMS still works
5. Re-enable voice: Toggle on again → must provide api_key_secret again
→ new TwiML app provisioned

This PR delivers the first slice of the voice channel: inbound call
handling. When a customer calls a configured voice
number, Chatwoot now creates a new conversation and shows a dedicated
call bubble in the UI. As the call progresses
(ringing, answered, completed), its status updates in real time in both
the conversation list and the call bubble, so
agents can instantly see what’s happening. This focuses on the inbound
flow and is part of breaking the larger voice
feature into smaller, functional, and testable units; further
enhancements will follow in subsequent PRs.

## Testing
- Configure a Voice inbox in Chatwoot with your Twilio number.
- Place a call to that number.
- Verify a new conversation appears in the Voice inbox for the call.
- Open it and confirm a dedicated voice call message bubble is shown.
- Watch status update live (ringing/answered); hang up and see it change
to completed in both the bubble and conversation
list.
- to test missed call status, make sure to hangup the call before the
please wait while we connect you to an agent message plays
