I've deployed two applications with Voxeo and it's been fine, though building VoiceXML (or their proprietary CallXML) applications can be quite a debugging headache. The only issue I've seen is that price varies widely, even year-to-year. We were running about $500/month for a low volume app one year, next year they wanted $6000 minimum (we talked them out of it). > Check out some CF (4.5+) examples > http://community.voxeo.com/vxml/apps/home.jsp > You can set up a test account, and use their 800 number with a pin... Outbound calling requires getting a token -- they have always been really good to me as a developer (I actually called once on Thanksgiving afternoon and got a developer after 3 rings...). You can build the whole app using an outbound calling token and their free developer account -- but make sure you talk about deployment costs with them before you decide to do it -- for a couple hundred calls per month, you'll probably better off paying a college student to do it manually :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Eric Dawson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 1:03 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Web App - Phone Calls > > option 1. is easy enough to set up. you could have a sample application > built within the hour. > more to follow - I have to grab some links - can't remember off the top > of my head, and there are probably some changes - a little more > empowering. > possibly something opensource. > www.voicegenie.com is easy to work with. > > what kind of outbound traffic?
