Wow.. Thanks for the very useful info. I'll look into the Twilio and Plivo. Is the service anyway location-dependent because to my web-app, I'm expecting calls only from India and so, I don't want my users to call an international number. Will it be an issue? I'm assuming the answer to be a no because Twilio runs on AWS which must make it location-independent.
- patio11 12y agoYou can buy Indian numbers with Twilio and make/receive voice calls and text messages. (See their site.) After the call hits the Twilio infrastructure, it is as location-agnostic as any other application interacting with APIs on the Internet. (One thing I do with Twilio is forward calls made to a US number to a Japanese number after doing trivial processing on them. My app runs on a server which happens to be somewhere in the vicinity of Chicago, not Japan.) I'd assume things are roughly similar for Plivo/Tropo but I don't use them.
- taf2 12y agoAll true but you not yet buy India numbers from twilio https://www.twilio.com/voice/pricing/in https://www.twilio.com/voice/pricing/in So you can call India but not receive calls on a local number
- manoj_venkat92 12y agoThanks for the info. Actually, I just want to receive a user's call to a number and record his message. So, I guess Twilio is the answer.
- manoj_venkat92 12y agoResearched a bit on Twilio. Looks like it's the exact kind of thing I need. Thanks a lot, man. This was very helpful.
