Website/phone service interaction


I'm looking for suggestions on how to approach a certain programming issue which I probably won't do a stellar job of explaining.

I need to allow people to call a phone number, dial an extension, and then have that call result in a request/action on some sort of webpage.

As an example, if you're coming to work, you dial the 800 number, press 1, and then your name shows up on a roster screen in the office, saying you're en route. (this isn't my intended use, just an example)

I'm at a complete loss as to how a phone service can interact with a website/server. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey Stebes,

This is exactly the purpose of the following sites:

http://www.twilio.com/
http://www.teleku.com
https://www.tropo.com/home.jsp
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/695393-website-phone-service-interaction.html

The average cost per minute is $0.03-$0.05, they also offer SMS. If you looking to roll your own version you'll want to look into asterisk, as most of them use the open source software.

http://www.asterisk.org/

Hope that helps you in your research.

Cheers,

Jay
