What phones can I use?

You can use any IP phone that supports SIP. This includes both hard IP phones from brands like Polycom, Cisco, Obihai, Grandstream, as well as soft phones on laptops and smartphones like Bria or Zoiper. Instructions to configure your SIP Endpoint

Why connect your phone to Twilio?

1. No contracts or monthly charges. You just pay low charges for calls you make or receive.
2. No cost to register your IP phone with Twilio so you can receive calls.
3. You can instantly provision a local telephone number in 50 countries to give you local presence.
4. Build custom call handling logic so you can be reached on the right device at the right time in the right place.

Features

Twilio requires that phone numbers be in E.164 format. To relax this restriction, this app allows the following more commonly known formats. Each of the following formats are supported. It is assumed the calls originate from US.

1. E.164 format - i.e. +14157664555
2. US domestic formats - i.e. 14157664555,4157664555
3. Any time 011 exit code from US - i.e. 0114415627220000
4. SIP URI - i.e. sip:username@somedomain.com

The previously mentioned formats can be used when you enter a phone number in your SIP Endpoint (i.e. Bria or Zoiper iPhone app).

Some conversion examples:

From	To	National format	E.164
USA	USA	415 555 2671	+14155552671
UK	UK	0 207183 8750	+442071838750
USA	UK	011 44 207183 8750	+442071838750

Note: E.164 format is required by Twilio.

Usage

There exists a route /voice that contains the code you can augment for more advanced call handling. You can edit hackpack/app.py.

This app solves a specific voice use case. If you want a more generic app that let's you play with both Voice and SMS then please see: Twilio-Hackpack-for-Heroku-and-Flask

• The following code is executed when a SIP INVITE is received by Twilio and your SIP Domain Voice URL points to this Webapp
• To learn more about Twilio's Voice Request see here
• The To: field in the Twilio request will be of the form: sip:phonenumber@yoursipdomain.sip.us1.twilio.com
• The following code extracts the phone number and converts to the format to E.164 if it is in US National format
• The code supports bridging a call from SIP to PSTN as well as from SIP to SIP

# Voice Request URL
# URL params: countryCode=[international country code - ISO alpha2]
@app.route('/voice', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def voice():
    to = request.values.get('To', None)
    regionCode = request.values.get('countryCode','US')
    if to is None:
        return ("Point the voice URL of your registration-enabled Twilio SIP domain to this script. "
                "You will see what it can do for you :-)")
    found_number = re.search("^sip:([+]?[0-9]{10,14})@", to)
    if found_number:
        number = phonenumbers.parse(found_number.group(1),regionCode)
        to = phonenumbers.format_number(number,phonenumbers.PhoneNumberFormat.E164)
    answer_on_bridge = str2bool(request.values.get('answerOnBridge', "True"))
    record_param = request.values.get('record', 'do-not-record')

    response = twiml.Response()

    if to.startswith("sip:"):
        with response.dial(answerOnBridge=answer_on_bridge, record=record_param) as d:
            d.sip(to)
    else:
        caller_id = request.values.get('callerId', app.config['TWILIO_CALLER_ID'])
        with response.dial(answerOnBridge=answer_on_bridge, callerId=caller_id, record=record_param) as d:
            d.number(to)

    return str(response)
