This is awesome! I even wrote a script a while back to do this. <a href="https://github.com/Danilka/twilio-forwarding" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Danilka/twilio-forwarding</a><p>The main question: Can I answer text messages that were forwarded to me / initiate a call back from that number?<p>What about advance routing? Based on time or external sources? Numbers blocking, etc.?<p>Feedback on setup:<p>- It was super confusing to connect Twilio account that I already had.<p>- Signing up with Gmail only made me think for a second.<p>- Twilio connector only worked on a third try.<p>- I doubt that I would pay $6/mo for it when the time comes :-( Maybe a couple of bux, but not 6. (I don't want to discourage you here, just trying to be honest and give unfiltered feedback as a user, who is very interested.)<p>I hope you guys succeed, this would be great!<p>P.S. Awesome name for such a product!
It's cool that you're not locked into Switchboard if you sign up for the service. You can always go back to managing your calls some other way. You're locked into Twilio, of course, but that doesn't seem like much of an inconvenience.
I dont clearly understand who migt need this, since any SIP account comes with these features (purchase from any voip service provider or host your softswitch like Asterisk, Mizu softswitch or 3CX).
Great project and product. I had GrandCentral (now Google Voice) which I loved, but is clearly under-supported (nearly abandoned?) by Google -- this was immensely helpful during my traveling consultant days where i'd find myself on different desks everyday. I'd love to find a commercial-grade stable product (i hope you are it?!)
This seems like a nice product, but unfortunately I can't create an account - after signing in via my Google account, I was redirected to a page [1] with an infinitely looping loading gif. I tried clearing my cookies for the domain, but no luck.<p>I'm running Chromium 64 on Linux.<p>[1]: account.goswitchboard.com/signup
