A new voice API framework called Plivo is taking a nod from Twilio and going farther and with less restrictions.
Plivo claims to be totally open, and promises the ability to work with GoogleVoice, Google Talk, SIP, h.323 and to be a simple integration with FreeSwitch.
Their announcement is here. The key though resides with this as to how they differ from Twilio:
However, Twilio comes with a catch. App developers are locked in to their cloud and are left with no option when it comes to choosing their own carriers or their own hosting solution. This is prohibitive for some users who have since been scouting for an open source alternative. Therein lay the premise for Plivo – a 100% FOSS alternative to Twilio.
