| - You need to install FS on your server and run it. There's an installer for that (Check http://www.plivo.org/get-started/). - You need to install Plivo on the server as well. There's a separate installer for that. So now you have your Twilio-like instance ready. - To buy a number you can head to ipkall.com (free) or icall.com or flowroute.com (paid). There are several such services actually. - Once you have the number, you can just point it to your server that is running FreeSWITCH and Plivo. - You can buy minutes for usage from a third party such as IVOX VoIP (ivoxvoip.com). Again, there are several such providers out there. - Now, go ahead and deploy your Plivo app (just as you would deploy a Twilio app). I hope this makes it clear. |
Often times, the terminology is confusing and difficult to know where to start and ease in.
