Replacing Asterisk with Twilio

Incoming calls

Currently

1. Landline # comes in to Twilio.
2. Twilio sends call to Asterisk over SIP.
3. Asterisk rings home phones + rings mobile
4. If no answer, Asterisk sends call to voicemail.

Cool part: If I pick up on the mobile the call is bridged directly between T-mo and Twilio, the Asterisk link drops out of the picture.

Other cool part: Twilio service quality is still on the uptick, seems to get better and better.

To do:

1. Send call to Asterisk
2. Send call to Mobile
3. If no answer, handle voicemail.

Call already goes to asterisk, but I want to direct it to both Asterisk and T-mo directly from Twilio instead of bouncing the T-mo call off Asterisk.

Creating a transcript

I think I can send a sound file into Twilio and get back the transcript. Let's play with that.
