I am just exploring voicemail at Twilio, and I thought that I can ask a related question here.
How would I send a voicemail to a group of numbers (as an effort of voice based marketing campaign)? what APIs will I need? and is there any related docs about it?
Shall we send an audio file? Or can we create the voice on Android or iPhone and send it using Android SDK or iPhone SDK?

You can call those numbers and play an audio file using the Play verb. To call a number, you can use our REST API. Here's documentation on how to do that in multiple programming languages.
Hope this helps you out, but come back here if you have any more questions.

I am trying to implement a call feature in my xamarin forms app using Twilio. I am able to call by providing From and To numbers using this API of Twilio. But the above call is happening via Twilio, I need to make a call via the internet (App to App). Is there any way to do this using Twilio?
Also is there a way to send a voice clip if the call is not answered? And any way to list out all the voices? I am able to list out SMS and call logs, but couldn't find a way to list the voices. I am using c# codes.

If you want to make App to App calls then you want the Twilio Voice SDK. I am afraid we don't provide an official Xamarin wrapper for this SDK, though there are community wrappers available that might help you.
I have developed a small application using twilio api to make call to any phone number from my twilio number. After dialing call is establishing and a specific audio clip is playing in mobile end. But I am not getting any real voice in any side of the call. Please help me or give me some information regarding how can i get voice in voice call using twilio api. Can anyone tell me the full sceneriyo that how can i make a call from IOS app to any phone numebr. Thanks, Amit

To make calls from an iOS application you need the Twilio Programmable Voice SDK. There is a quickstart application you can run and look at to see how it all fits together. Check out the rest of the documentation for more information.

for IVR Voice do we have any additional voice for women other than the default three voices?
Programmable Voice -> Text-to-Speech, Is there any different type of woman voice?
Except(man, woman, alice)?
Thanks in advance.

You are right, those are the three voices we have, though alice does support 26 different language/locale pairs which you can set using the language attribute on <Say>.
If you want other voices, you can use other APIs to generate speech from your text and upload it as an mp3 file that you can use with <Play>. For example, here's a blog post on using Amazon's Polly as the voice on a Twilio phone call.
Let me know if that helps at all.
Can Twilio do peer to peer video calls using WebRTC? I can see it does voice calls with WebRTC, but since WebRTC also includes video it seems like this should be possible. If not is this on the road map?
Now you can.
Twilio just added video calling support to their service today. Here's an analysis on what you can expect and what it means: https://bloggeek.me/twilio-webrtc-video/
Twilio had introduced peer-to-peer video call at cheap rates.
You can refer these links for more information:
Twilio video and Twilio video call example
Unfortunately this is not something you can currently do with Twilio.
Update
Twilio announced their video product in May 2015. At time of writing it is not yet available. Further information can be found on Twilio Video. Thanks to nbermudezs in the comments below.
Is it possible to fire Automated Question Pool Calls using Twilio so that the person who answer the call, after hearing a message "say verb", answer the question with digits from 0 to 9? "gather verb"?

Since your question is tagged with iOS, I assume your asking if you can do this in an iPhone app. Using Twilio its possible to do what you want, but I would highly recommend doing this all on the server-side, not from an iOS app.
The Phone Poll How To will walk you through creating a simple phone poll system.
Hope that helps.
