If you Google an incoming phone number instead of answering the phone, this application is for you! It works in a few steps:
- You give someone (i.e. your dentist, a repair person) your Twilio phone number.
- Your provider calls your Twilio phone number
- Twilio looks up the number using the Lookup API
- Twilio sends you an SMS with Caller Name* and Carrier information
- Twilio forwards the call to your phone number
If step 3 or 4 fails, it will still forward the call as if you'd given the person your personal phone number.
*Caller name information is currently only available in the US
