Funny enough, I did this last month using the Telephone Mac application (just as the author initially did). The real story that the article doesn't quite do justice to is how easy it was. From zero to a functioning phone (making and receiving calls) in less than 30 mins.
If you were to recreate this via FreeSWITCH/Flowroute, it's more like an hour and change from scratch. (Register for VPS, install everything, etc.)
- josh2600 13y agoThat's exactly my point. In the article they highlight the end result, which is frankly boring, instead of the setup, which is where they shine. There's always a market for well done abstraction.
- sologoub 13y agoAgreed. Also, got to give them props on support. I've stepped away from doing this for a living, but wanted an easy way to call my relatives overseas. The first attempt resulted in poor quality to the foreign landline. Cell was crystal clear. I notified Plivo team via the built-in chat and they had it fixed promptly. This was a request from an extremely low-volume user calling European country Plivo doesn't support for anything other than dialing to. In other words, not a lot of $$$ to be made, but service was top notch!
