connect calls through app via my own 0845 number

Hi guys,

So starting an online uk advertising business - a uk takeaway directory. No big money will be made (but fingers crossed) but hopefully pull in some reasonable advertising revenues from companies...but we are looking at creating an app for the directory - listing all the takeaways and their information - however rather than displaying the takeaway number we wanted to put a small icon labelled "call" and this my question.

Is it possible to have the call the customer makes via the app go to my own 0845 (or similar number) and then be automatically redirected to the takeaway?.I know i will only make pennies from each call, but pennies amount to pounds. Was wondering if it can be done and who provides the service...anyone had this experience before?

thanks in advance.
Andy

Hi Andy,
I bought this wso.

integrated with twilio, each number on twilio is $1 and with the above system you can track each call and record it if you wish,

I'm sure this is a good app, but there is a free call tracking script on Github that uses Twilio. Just google it.

Also, if you decide to go with Twilio (which I do recommend), you can use Twiml on the front end to route calls wherever you want, but I recommend routing them to a VoIP SIP and the cost is only 1/2 cent per minute. Very cheap.

Thanks for the info, working with Twimlets can get complicated is you starting to use loops for the customer to get back to the main message. I found this WSO (WordPress Plus Twilio) which makes it a breeze to setup a very complicated VoIP phone system. I would suggest to check it out. http://www.warriorforum.con/warrior-...ne-system.html

Hope this helps.
