Ask HN: How do app's like TextFree get phone numbers to give out?
As an app developer how can I acquire phone numbers that I can pass along to my users and hook those phone numbers into my app as part of the service? Whether it's for voice, fax or texting? Are there companies that provide this kind of service are these solutions custom built in-house telephony stacks?
- bdickason 16y agoI believe Twilio allows you to do this. For example: http://www.twilio.com/docs/quickstart/sms/hello-monkey http://www.twilio.com/docs/quickstart/sms/hello-monkey I'm not sure if everyone gets access to this or just the main person who signs up with Twilio.
- bergstyle 16y agolooks like Twilo gives your app a phone number but I couldn't find any info on generating phone numbers for the app's users, let me know if I missed something in their docs.
