I'm looking for the simplest way to make a VOIP call from a server to an iOS app that deliver a short audio message when the user answers.
I think its doable with Twilio but I am not sure.
Thanks
Look at the Twilio Programmable Voice SDK for iOS. You can start with the Quickstart.

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 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.

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.
I'd like to interact with my customers via texting/messaging on a phone app, but not use my personal phone number. Although this seems like a common need, haven't found a solution for that yet.
Twilio SMS services are amazing. I'd like to take advantage of those services as well as utilize a familiar iMessage like interface for interaction with in and out SMS/MMS messages.
Was wondering if I could avoid re-inventing the wheel by using a standard XMPP iOS app with a standard XMPP chat server and only build an intermediate service that would translate between Twilio SMS and XMPP.
I've got to assume that other's have already solved this problem. I'd would love to hear your input on using this approach or hearing how you've solved this.

I am not an expert in XMPP I'm afraid. However, a bit of Googling turned up the following links:
SMS over XMPP with Twilio
Multi channel chat with Twilio and Google App Engine
Cloudpipes Twilio XMPP integration
Perhaps one of those might help?
This XMPP component connects Twilio SMS and voice to XMPP: https://wiki.soprani.ca/TwilioSetup
I posted an Android SMS app called Owl SMS, that allows you to do what you wanted, keep your personal SMS (from your mobile phone number) separate from your business SMS. At this time, it only does text, I haven't added MMS.

We have an iPhone app and would like to provide the ability for our users to voice call each other without needing landlines, telephone numbers or use their calling minutes. What is needed with Twilio to do mobile-app to mobile-app voice calls?

I'd start by checking out or Twilio Client for iOS quickstart. The short version is you'll need to set up some kind of back end service that can generate tokens and TwiML instructions, then in your iOS app use our iOS SDK to connect to Twilio and make or receive calls.
Hope that helps.
