I do not know if this is the appropriate forum for asking help for my issue, in case it is not i would like to apologies for any inconvenience.
So, the story goes somehow like that, i have purchased a number from Twilio in order to use it for sending/receiving faxes. Our Telephony System is a Digium switchvox and i have also configured a Cisco CUBE to the edge of my network.
When we try to send a fax, we can see that the packet reaches Twilio, but there is an error:
Error - 32102
SIP: Bad SDP
Please let me know if you had the chance to make it work.
Kind Regards,
Twilio don't support t.38
You can't archive that through twilio as a provider

I am trying to set up a very simple system where I can dial out to local numbers using a VOIP app or an ATA.
I have the local number on Twilio
I have a Sip Domain set up on Twilio
I have extensions and SIP Devices set up and working
Using Flow, I can: receive calls, transfer calls to Voicemail, Email and Txt Voicemails
What I cannot seem to figure out is how to just dial outbound calls. I have been over all the documentation but I am not a coder, and all the blogs on making an outbound call seem to require you to be running a host somewhere other than Twilio.
How do I set this up:
I pick up any SIP device authenticated to an extension on my SIP domain.
I dial a local POTS number and it rings that number using my Twilio Local number.
It all must happen on the Twilio platform (SIP Devices excluded)
I was hoping I could use Twilio flows to do that but I cannot figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I understand your question but it's a bit hard to understand at which point you are stuck. But I'm happy to point you to this blog post which aims for the same result. So you should be able to find the missing pieces in there.
So I need to programmatically receive text messages from a shortcode. Twilio does not support this. Anybody know a service like Twilio but that is able to receive SMS messages from a short code sender?
Just to be clear. I need to receive a text message from a shortcode to a 10 digit number, not send from a shortcode.
Most services (Twilio, call fire) that let you send from a shortcode can not receive a text message from a shortcode
This can’t be done, shortcodes are unique to each carrier network, when a short code is available across multiple carriers it is implemented on each carrier separatly.
Also shortcodes are not international so 54321 could be used in both the UK and US by totally separate services.
SMS providers like Twilio and Vonage connect to the carriers in the same way as the shortcodes do, they are both an application connection. The carriers do not permit app to app messaging through their network so a shortcode app will only ever be able to send to a real subscriber with a SIM card.
You might find some providers that offer an SMS API by using banks of hosted SIM cards but this can be very flakey and you are usually sharing the number. The other option might be to look at hosting your own SIM card in a usb single or such and recieve the SMS that way.
Actually, Twillio does support this now, although with a big disclaimer that it "cannot guarantee that every short code globally will be able to reach Twilio numbers"

I think this article might be just what you're looking for https://help.nexmo.com/hc/en-us/articles/216487658-Inbound-SMS-on-dedicated-US-short-code
You should be able to receive SMS messages on a dedicated US Shortcode.
I'm trying to set up our app to send SMS with Twilio. The person who does a lot of our testing lives overseas, so I need to obtain a US phone number that she can use so she can do her testing. I got a number via TextMagic, but when I try to add it to the list of verified numbers on my Twilio dashboard, the verification code (seemingly) never gets sent to the TextMagic number. Is there some sort of restriction on Twilio's side regarding numbers generated from services like TextMagic? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not aware of anything that would necessarily restrict things between Twilio and TextMagic.
Can I suggest using another Twilio number to test things? It does work to send between Twilio numbers and you'll need the same knowledge to setup the Twilio number as to use it as a test number.
I want to verify mobile phone numbers. The mobile phone numbers can be from anywhere, I mean any country. My idea is to send an sms with a code, and then ask for that code.
I am not sure if Twilio is a correct choice for doing that, because I do not understand if with a phone number from Twilio I am able to send messages around the world. I am also not sure about the costs of sending messages.
Is Twilio right for this or should I look for another service?
Thanks

You're totally on the right track. With a Twilio number you can send SMS messages to over 200 countries, and get local numbers in over 40 countries. Have a look at this FAQ for more information.
Have a look at this blog post where we show you how to use Twilio to verify phone numbers on the way you asked.
You will find pricing information in this page, and it will vary slightly from country to country.
Hope this answers your question.
You can also test other similar verification service.
www.foneverify.com is one such service providing verification across the globe.
You can try our services by signing up for free.

I'm running a Ruby on Rails application that I'm looking for a method to send some notifications via SMS (not many, just on critical failures).
It seems like this may be possible via google talk or google voice. Does anyone know how to do this?
Have a look at Twilio. They might not be entirely free, but if you want to reliably send SMS on critical errors that might be worth more than a free option that might not work that reliable.
What's more, they have an excellent twilio-ruby gem that allows you to send SMS very nicely from any app.
Pricing with Twilio depends on the country you're sending your text to, for the U.S. it would be 1 Cent for each outbound SMS.
If you get to know any free solution let me know.
Disclaimer, I do developer evangelism part time at Nexmo.
If you're only sending notifications to yourself, you may be able to just use an email alias for your cell number.
But if you're doing anything significant, the best solution is likely an SMS API. There are a few providers (this list isn't complete, but it's what I'd consider using) - pricing is in cents per message (depends on the API and destination, but hovers around a cent or two). You may be required to provision a virtual number depending on your country - pricing there is generally dollars/month (again, depends on API and destination, hovers around a dollar or two).
