We've been using Tropo (by Voxeo) for phone and SMS integration for Flocknote (www.flocknote.com) for almost two years, and I have to say they've done a great job scaling up their services and support in that time. This new service looks like a good step forward from AT&T!

My main question here would be could I use this API in an app that is installed on phones on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc. I'm sure this is just my ignorance of understanding the press release.

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.

Brian from Voxeo Labs here: I'm really excited that this has publicly launched. I worked on the call management api from the operations side of things, and I'll be happy to answer any questions I can.

Can you give a brief overview of how the API works. I can't really understand the press release on what solution does the API provide.

So they're white labelling Tropo?
