Voxeo Developers Corner

Are you testing out “next generation networks”? Are you trying out the many VoIP softphones that are out there? Are you working with SIP-based systems? Do you have a SIP-based IP phone on your desk, laptop or mobile phone?

If so, did you know that you can call any application in the Voxeo cloud using a SIP address? Try it out:

sip:9991450962@sip.voxeo.net

If you are using our Evolution Developer Portal, in the Application Manager you can see the SIP address on the “Contact Methods” tab for each application:

If you are using our Tropo service, the SIP address appears as part of the application information:

It’s literally that easy!

Enter that SIP address into a softphone or hard phone that supports SIP… and you’re good to go!

Back in 2000 when the Voxeo platform was launched, we made a bet that the SIP protocol would be the industry standard and 10+ years later that turned out to be a smart choice… we’ve got a giant SIP cloud sitting out there on the Internet… and it’s simple for you to make use of it!

By the way, if you would like to start building apps that communicate over SIP yourself, it’s easy to get started as developer accounts are free on both Evolution and Tropo!

As part of our 100% Uptime Guarantee for Text Messaging we announced earlier this week, I posted a short video showing the process:

If you haven’t tried it out yourself, turning an existing voice application into a text messaging application is literally just one radio button on a form… try it!

P.S. If you want to try it out yourself but don’t yet have an Evolution account, just head over to evolution.voxeo.com. Accounts are free for development use… as are the phone numbers and the inbound/outbound text messaging.
