What do you instead about having the user enter their own phone number and zip code on the site and click submit.
Then twilio calls the rep and the user? That way the user doesn't have to even dial.
- awwstn 13y agoI'm not totally sure, but I think it's helpful if the call comes from a local area code. But, many of us have legacy area codes from places we lived 10-15 years ago, so it may not matter too much.
- chimeracoder 13y agoRelevant XKCD: http://xkcd.com/1129/ http://xkcd.com/1129/ In all seriousness, though, calling from a local area code does make a huge difference. If you don't have a local phone number for some reason (recently moved, etc.), then you can still call and identify yourself by name and say that you're a constituent (note: say "constituent", not "voter").
