Call tracking and sms system

logowize · 5th Jul 2012, 04:35 PM

Could some one recommend a simple service that will forward a call from a mobile number, add that incoming number to a text message contact list so it can be SMS'd at later date.
Thanks,
Todd

You could set this up with Twilio(probably others but Twilio for sure). You can make your own app to handle incoming calls. Once the call is received put them on your list and forward them wherever necessary.

I use CallFire.com to do a lot of call forwarding and tracking and they work great and they are super easy to use.

Off the top of my head you would just have to likely export the list of callers to a spread sheet then import it back to the SMS system - but that would be a pretty simple task - not fully automatic - but pretty close.

Twillio was a bit more than I ever needed just for call tracking - but I bet if you could program that whole loop you are talking about within Twillio without any import/export of lists - or hire some one on here who deals with Twillio all the time.

Good luck -

That is easily setup in about a minute using Openvbx (Twilio). Use Chad Smith's subscription plugin.
