    Hi - and thank you sincerely for the points you made. I am writing this to provide context, not to disagree with you... Relatively speaking, Voxeo was as cheap 10 years ago as Twil…

    Woah there, your post is misleading and I want to make sure no one is confused as a result. You said you inquired about Voxeo/Tropo but the pricing you mention above has absolutely…

    Hi - Tropo should cost about the same as Twilio depending on your use case, but Tropo does alot more than Twilio for a roughly equivalent price. For example. Twilio just does SMS, …

    That's a great summary. A good analogy is that Tropo is 30% harder to learn than Twilio... but it can do 300% more than Twilio. We've got a big release coming that makes Tropo much…

    Freeswitch rocks. Great stuff, from a great team too. If you like Freeswitch, you'd probably like Tropo. Tropo lets you program directly in Javscript and other languages, just like…
