Make a Phone Call From Your Command Line With the Twilio CLI

You can use Twilio Programmable Voice to make and receive voice calls in your software application by using the Twilio CLI. To get started, you need a free Twilio account, Node.js installed on your machine, and set up your environment with the Twilio CLI installed. You can buy a Twilio phone number from the CLI and create a TwiML Bin to host your TwiML document. When your Twilio phone number makes a call, Twilio looks up the URL associated with your number and sends a request to that URL. If your URL contains TwiML, Twilio will follow the instructions found in the document. You can use the CLI to make a phone call through your new Twilio phone number by running a specific command, replacing placeholders with your actual phone numbers and the URL of your TwiML Bin.
