Twilio's New SDK Lets Developers Add Skype-Like Calling to Their Apps

Twilio, which has built a platform supporting SMS and voice calling in apps from 40,000 developers, is adding VoIP to its arsenal of tools for third-party developers.

Its new SDK for Android, iOS and mobile web apps lets developers add two-way audio or Skype-like calling to their apps. Developers can add conference calls or basic person-to-person voice calls and it works regardless of whether users have two different types of devices.

“Developers can bypass the phone network, no longer needing phones or a 10-digit phone number, and embed an audio pipe in their web or native apps,” said Jeff Lawson, Twilio’s chief executive.
