I am in dubai, here all voip calls are banned like skype, imo and whatsapp calling, with twilio is it possible to make an application like skype or something to have a video calling only with one person (in ex, to my wife ) using php ? if it is possible what are the ways to do it with your API and php ? else what are the other options available ?

[@bradfoster6314]

Is it possible for a phone to phone call through twilio?

[@twilio]

Absolutely. Any time you want to connect a call to another phone, you can use the TwiML verb to connect that call to another phone number. www.twilio.com/docs/voice/twiml/dial

[@JY-xv7ic]

how if we want to create live call, not a text one..

[@twilio]

Use the tag with a phone number instead of the tag. www.twilio.com/docs/voice/twiml/dial

[@JY-xv7ic]

@@twilio thanks, will learn about this later..

[@samwd5039]

Can you direct me to API where it could call directly to client .. for example i have an insurance and lender form when their form is filled out from the visitors. A call should go to visitor's number from the lender or insurance holder's number.

[@samwd5039]

Basically connects them to talk to our users after a form Is filled out

[@twilio]

I don't know what you are trying to do, but can you send me a message on Twitter @GeeH and I'll try and help you out. ^G

Using Windows 7, php editor and localhost. I cannot get to step 1. I got a twillio account. I wrote the php, but cant even figure out where to get the "helper library". step 1 has me completely freaking lost.

[@twilio]

Hi brandon, sorry you’re stuck! Here’s details about the library: www.twilio.com/docs/libraries/php

Outbound call not working why?

[@mattchamp1541]

hi not sure if you are still active but any idea how to sort my error? when i run php make-calls.php i get this on my command prompt " PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:/Program Files/NetMake/v9/components/php\ext\php_ibm_db2.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:/Program Files/NetMake/v9/components/php\ext\php_pdo_informix.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0 Error: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate"

[@devinrader6887]

Looks like you are trying to run PHP on Windows? You might be able to solve this by making sure that the `extension_dir` value in your `php.ini` file points to a valid path on your computer. Also, I'd make sure that the path delimiters are all the `\` since that's the correct path delimiter for Window.

[@spiritualguidance8483]

Why would one want to use PHP or Python for connecting calls? In other words, which is better?

[@twilio]

Language preference is just a choice as to which one you want to work with. Both PHP and Python use the same underlying Twilio APIs.

[@topollor6470]

This is what i was looking for thank you. QA: can i queue this calls then pick then up from queue after finishing with another call?

[@jonsmith9379]

Where can I find an honest developer to do this? Would pay you.

[@johnway7789]

Email me. If you still need a solution.

What about setting up Twilio to receive a Google voice verification code while you're on a trial account. For residents outside of USA.

[@TheEgyGeek]

Doesn't work even for paid accounts, Twilio doesn't receive messages from short codes.

[@Bigghead09]

Great video. Im confused on the process of how i can set my own custom message instead of the demo that twilio offers. Ive done the sms where i use ngrok to get a http url, is the process for setting outgoing calls the same?

[@Bigghead09]

i apologize for the confusion im writing my code in python and meant to leave this comment on that video,basically im asking how do set the instructions for twilio as far as what i want it to do when my out-going call is connected?

[@namitsingh1029]

can anyone help me?

[@julienlarochelle6390]

This in no way explains how to make an ACTUAL phone call where you get to SPEAK to someone. Calling a number to programmatically say something is anything but useful.

[@wajihaaltaf1985]

Do this code work with trail account as well? I got error: SSL certificate problem

[@wajihaaltaf1985]

Yes http! Error details: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain

[@devinrader6887]

Check out support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/235279367-Twilio-PHP-helper-library-SSL-certificate-problem-on-Windows and see if that helps fix the problem.
