Twilio

  • To create a free trial Twilio account, head to the try-twilio page and sign up using your details.
  • Next, three important pieces of information have to be obtained:
    1. Navigate to the account dashboard page.
    2. Click the 'Get a Trial Number' button in the dashboard to generate a unique number.
    3. Take a note of the (i) Twilio phone number.
    4. Take a note of the (ii) account SID and (iii) auth token.
  • All that remains now is to add a number that Twilio is able to call:
    1. Navigate to the Verified Caller IDs page.
    2. Press the red + to add a new personal number and follow the verification steps.
    3. One number is enough for now, but you can repeat these steps to verify more than one number.

At the end, you should have:

  1. A Twilio phone number.
  2. The account SID, available in the account dashboard.
  3. The auth token, available in the account dashboard.
  4. A verified personal phone number (at least one)

If you wish to explore more advanced features, PANIC also supports configurable TwiML; instructions which can re-program Twilio to do more than just call numbers. By default, the TwiML is set to reject calls as soon as the recipient picks up, without any charges. This can be re-configured from the twilio section of the internal config to either a URL or raw TwiML instructions.
