## Selecting a region

1. Log in to the [Mission Control Portal](https://portal.telnyx.com).
2. Go to **Account settings** > **Profile**.
3. Scroll to **Data Storage Location** and select a country from the dropdown.
4. Click **Save Location**.

<Warning>
  This setting can only be changed once and cannot be undone. After you save, Telnyx migrates your data to the new location. Some features may become temporarily unavailable during migration — the process can take a few minutes to several hours depending on your data size.
</Warning>

All existing accounts default to the US. If you do not change the setting, your data remains in the US.
