I’m using Twilio in an iphone app. I’m interested in having a dialer in the iphone make outbound calls through Twilio using a Twilio phone #.
The OpenVBX iphone app from Twilio shows a pretty good implementation, but it’s not a true outbound call: the Twilio actually calls back the iphone.
Are there any more phone-like and less obtrusive ways to do this? One example – is it possible to have the iphone call a twilio # with tel:// , where the twilio # is redirected on-the-fly to the actual destination? Even that still causes a dialog to be displayed for the user. Anything with fewer steps than that?
Or are there other services like Twilio that make this more streamlined?
I am interested both in answers that use 3G / Wifi as data (e.g. a SIP client) as well as answers that use the actual voice connection from the iphone.
Twilio Client supports making and receiving calls from web browsers and mobile apps. From your iPhone app you can make calls using the data connection that connect to other clients or traditional phone numbers.
