Call Forward to Multiple Numbers using Twilio

In this post, I'm going to share a small snippet on how you can easily forward incoming calls to multiple phone numbers using your Twilio number. There are multiple ways you can do this. For our situation, I am using Twilio TwiML Bin to make the code.

Code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
  <Dial>
    <Number>+1-416808XXXX</Number>
    <Number>+1-437702XXXX</Number>
  </Dial>
</Response>

Here, when a call get's to your Twilio Number, Twilio invokes a function to dial provided numbers.

Steps

• Firstly, make sure that you've at least a Twilio number (You can get 1 from here)
• Open TwiML Bin, if it's not showing on your sidebar, click Explore Products -> Select TwiML Bins (https://console.twilio.com/develop/explore)

As you can see I used the name: Call Forwarder

• Copy & paste the above code to your new TwiML Bin.

• Copy the URL from the TwiML Bin page.

• After that, click on Phone Numbers->Active Numbers and select Call Forwarder from the A CALL COMES IN field

• Select HTTP GET from the drop down.

• SAVE

Voila. That's it!

Now, when you ring your Twilio Number you'll get incoming calls to other numbers.
