Don't think Twilio has SIP registration, but they do have Android SDK for Twilio Client that will do the trick.

Yeah, this would definitely be the way to go for an Android device. Use the SDK examples to build a little dialer and use the ACTION_CALL intent, and it works great for outbound as well.

  • Rob, are you guys looking to do SIP Reggie soon? I imagine it's gotta be coming at some point (I don't know why you guys don't do it now except for the obvious pain point of network overhead from all that registration traffic).

    • We're pretty stoked on what we have planned for our SIP roadmap, but staying true to our discipline of announcing features only when they ship.

      SIP From Twilio is all we have to report right now.

So Twilio currently only offers SIP origination (DID/gateway from POTS -> IP/SIP), also known as inbound SIP trunking. I think this needs to be made more clear on their site.

Android has a native SIP client (so do Nokia phones), which makes me wonder what purpose the Twilio Android SDK serves.

And holy mackerel, 0.5c/minute for inbound. If I were running my own SIP enabled PBX I'd rather use Voxbone.com or one of their resellers. They have unlimited incoming minutes, charged per channel (concurrent calls).

Edit: added bit about SIP trunking
