Yesterday our portfolio company Twilio announced the developer availability of theirOpen VBX platform. Techcrunch and GigaOm had good posts on it. Techcrunch called it “open source google voice for business” and Om Malik said “OpenVBX is simple and yields the one thing users want most: a voice mail box that also forwards calls to different numbers.”
There is other open source PBX software out there, namely Asterisk and Freeswitch. And there are other cloud based telephony APIs as well. But what is important about Open VBX and the Twilio web service API for telephony is the pairing of the two. With Open VBX you get free software to build telephony services and a web based telephony cloud to provision the numbers, calls, text messages, and way more.
