You can make outbound phone calls to landlines, mobiles, and SIP endpoints (e.g., softphones), in any of our 200+ coverage countries. A single outbound call or bulk outbound calls can be made using Plivo in three ways:
- Making an HTTP POST request to the Call API Resource or the PHLO
- Using an endpoint via a softphone, hard phone, or an SDK.
- Integrating your application with Plivo using one of our helper libraries.
Outbound calling
Prerequisites
- Sign up for a free Plivo trial account.
- Check out our helper libraries page and install the right helper based on the programming language you wish to use.
- Buy a Plivo phone number (optional).
Note: A phone number is required only for receiving calls. However, country-specific carrier conditions may still apply. You can buy a phone number through the Buy Numbers tab on your Plivo account menu.
4. Unlike other tutorials, making simple outbound calls does not require a web server.
Please refer to our quick start guide on how to make an outbound call.
