A co-worker mentioned they had a desk at the end of their driveway with a free sign on it for over a week with no takers. I told them to put a $10 sign on it and someone would stea…

My wife runs an estate sale company, helping families dispose of property. Sometimes the family wants her to give something away. She hates that. It’s way more work for her than se…

You should never accept the caller id of a phone number that called you as identity verification. It is trivial for anyone with a VoIP line to set caller id to whatever they wish.

Company the size of AT&T working in highly regulated areas, everything's a subsidiary for various accounting and legal reasons. AT&T Mobile and AT&T UVerse are two different compan…

We think it would be neat to do this sort of thing with existing numbers, too. That's why we released Ameche a couple of months ago. http://voxeolabs.com/ameche/overview/ Built by …

Thanks. As you can imagine, we're all amped up.

AT&T does have some APIs for interacting with MMS. Those have actually been around for several months. The MMS API they offer at https://developer.att.com/developer/basicTemplate.j…

Not exactly. Instead of white labeling our APIs in our cloud, AT&T is running their own APIs in their own network, just like our previous announcement with Deutsche Telekom in Germ…

Applications developed on the Call Management APIs do not require approval by AT&T. The APIs offered by AT&T that require approval tend to be those that interact with subscriber de…

Yes, Call Management is cross-carrier. Don't worry about not understanding the press release. Those aren't ever written to be understood by humans.

The only protection a hotel operator gets here is protection of their business model. Governments should not generally be in the business of favoring one business model over anothe…

Tropo has Australian numbers. And 40 other countries. Has for years. http://tropo.com (disclosure, I'm the product manager). But really, if all you're doing is dialing out, then yo…

WebRTC is a w3c standard - it's part of HTML 5 - so getting browsers to support it isn't going to be as big of a problem as you suspect. Browsers today (even with HTML5) are mainly…

Automobile manufactures will tell you to use factory parts, too. Doesn't mean there aren't other compatible options. OpenVBX would run on any platform that emulates Twilio's API. T…

The core that actually runs your applications is open source. Runs on any java SIP servlet app server. You can run Tropo apps without touching Tropo.com at all or paying us for any…

VoiceXML and CCXML are suited for most telephony apps. We've seen conference calling, dating, virtual Number services, notifications, and lots more on XML telephony platforms. Twil…

If you're looking for more options, there's a LOT out there. Think of all the automated voice systems you interact with on a regular basis. In the open source world, you could inst…

Changing the root web service URL for OpenVBX requires that you change one line of code. No need to even fork it.

It's not a service -- it's open source software you download and run on your own servers. Their web site or ability to keep it online has nothing to do with the product.

Tropo provides phone numbers in 41 countries, including the Netherlands. We have a large number of Dutch customers. We also provide Dutch text to speech and speech recognition.

One reason is that we want our developers to be part of a technology community. Attending (and presenting at) industry events, meetups, bar camps, and local user groups. There's a …
