Welcome to Twilio Wrapper Library For thinQ LCR integration

The thinQ Twilio Wrapper Library is just written for the purpose to bring a new level of ease to the developers who deal with Twilio integration with thinQ LCR system.

To say more in detail, this is written to help developers who use Twilio Voice to integrate a Least Cost Routing feature into the product so that you can route calls for an average of $0.0047 per minute rather than the $0.015 per minute charged by Twilio voice.

Note that you will need a valid LCR Account with thinQ before using the libraries. For more information please contact your thinQ Sales representative at http://www.thinq.com/library/

Here's a simple scenario:

  • Twilio outbound calls are charged at rate of $0.015 per minute for all calls to local US numbers and charged in one minute increments. So, a 61 second call bills for 120 seconds.
  • You have an application that places outbound calls such as Appointment Reminders for customers.
  • Instead of paying $0.015 per minute and being billed by the minute by Twilio, you integrate the thinQ LCR code library into your application as shown below and you pay Twilio for a SIP connection at $0.005 per minute and thinQ for LCR routing at an average rate of $0.0047 per minute (billed in six second increments not one minute increments).
  • Your cost per call should drop by 30-50%.

So what does it do exactly?

  • Built a wrapper class that wraps all twilio-related operations such as Service Initialization, Making a Call, Generating Twiml callback response, etc.
  • It provides a rich set of configuration parameters.
  • That's it! Developers can intialize this wrapper class obejct with his specific details (incl. Twilio credentials) and just do what he wants in a breeze.

This library doesn't do any automation thing, but it's a simple library taht only wraps thinQ SIP call so it's obviously up to developers how to use this library.
