bigbear... i am interested in this. i would love to use just twilio and not have to fiddle with another pbx. open to beta testing or releasing your set up to someone else?
so can my people connect via webrtc? or is this a sip phone only thing?
I have been getting messages about this over the past month out of the blue for some reason.
So out of the box you can register endpoints to Twilio now and use WebRTC
https://www.twilio.com/voice/sip-registration
My idea was to use the serverless code model to create the missing features of a PBX, but I had to slim down a light weight softswitch from other projects to handle presence and to translate DSS/Phone commands to something that could call a Twiml Bin or Twilio API.
The quality and SIP registration leans on Twilio while some things that Twilio doesnt offer leans on a 3rd party app engine instance.
I have thought about developing this further, but it seems trivial for Twilio to add these features themselves. I havent check in on Twilio updates since last year but I thought Studio would obviate the need for some of the things I was doing. I feel like as soon as I made something distributed everyone would find a way to break it or Twilio would release those features.
If you dont need presence or extension transfers from a hard phone Twilio does everything you want out of the box. Complex IVR and transfers down to your SIP phone.
This is something I am interested in. I'm coming from FreePBX and Elastix and really just need some core features to start off like the ones you described and custom build out from there. My goal same as yours eliminate need for a PBX and do everything through Twillio.
I already have SIP registration working on Twilio and calls between endponts. Things that I need are BLF to work which Twillio doesn't support out of the box and I would like transfer, music on hold and voicemail to work. This would be a good start and custom build other things. Is this a project still under development? I would be interested in trying on would host on my own VPS or GCP for testing. Any information would be of help as I'm looking to do something similar regardless. Thanks
Also have you implemented or tested twilio Sim cards? I have active Sims and would like to plug in as an endpoint if it's possible.
