IMS?
Integrated Multimedia Subsystem. It's a wrapper system to let Telcos perform IP operations on non-IP infrastructure. Lets you treat the PSTN like an IP network. It's pretty jenky but it's required by the big guys for interop.

#22Brian 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.
We developed a location service that met all of AT&T's and CTIA's consent guidelines yet they were the one carrier to reject the app - and without good reason.

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.
I agree. They start out by talking about video and phone integration in apps. But then they are like, you have 1 million api calls, and it will translate text for you. Please pay us money for our babel fish. Also we will populate forms for you sometimes.
Does that help explain?

Does this mean if the customer has an AT&T iPhone (for example) you can receive copies of SMS sent to their handset via the API, or is it still the case that you need a new virtual/tropo number or port your number away from the device?

Would this be an example of implementing the new API? Have calls to your mobile number ring to a phone or computer in your house (wifi or wired).

No, this API is not for reusing your existing number. It's about building applications with new phone numbers.

Are the apps subject to individual review and approval by AT&T (as opposed to direct through Tropo or Twilio where you can launch on your own)?

#28I immediately dropped what I was doing to see if I could send or receive an MMS from my laptop. The documentation and sample apps do not make it easy for someone to figure out how to actually do that.

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.
So they're white labelling Tropo?
