# Inbound Processing Region API - PhoneNumber

In the context of the Inbound Processing Region API, a `PhoneNumber` resource represents the routing configuration for a particular [IncomingPhoneNumber](/docs/phone-numbers/api/incomingphonenumber-resource).

By adjusting the value of the `voice_region` property, you can control which [Twilio Region](/docs/global-infrastructure/understanding-twilio-regions) will process and store data related to inbound calls for the phone number.

> \[!WARNING]
>
> Changes to this resource may take up to 5 minutes to take effect.
