Forwarding Twilio Number to Callfire or Kall8?

Tristan Gemus · 13th Jul 2013, 08:53 AM

Hello Warriors,

I am an offline marketer and live in Canada. the only service I could find that offers Canadian local numbers is Twilio, obviously used with Open VBX. It's an okay piece of software but Kall8 and Callfire offer everything that I require (such as call recording and other things). Would it be ideal to purchase a Twilio number for my local city, then forward it to a toll free number?

The only downside I see is it costing me twice as much to make calls but I'm not sure of what other solution to use and people in my area would much rather call a local number than a US number or toll free IMO. Let me know what you think, thanks.

Twilio can do call recording, and probably everything else that callfire offers. You don't have to use openvbx with Twilio, but its easier if you are not a programmer, and you can build some pretty sophisticated flows with it to do just about anything you'd want Twilio is cheaper than callfire as well. they may even use twilio as their backend too.

Yeah, I am trying to find a solution to do all of that using Twilio. I think I have found one, Analytic Call Tracking -

That's a nice script. the same basic call tracking script is available for free on github too.
