The Code Project Reputation Hotline - A sample Azure telephony application [modified]
-
These days I am playing with telephone applications. Unlike mobile web applications, these applications still use old fashioned voice, dial and text inputs. As a sample, I developed a code project reputation hotline. Those of you in the US can dial (404) 721 1770 (I know it is risky to give away numbers but I am going to recycle the number for my real production application). You can dial in your member id and you will hear your reputation score. Alternatively, you can sms to this number with your member id and you will get a reply SMS with your reputation score. Try it out. [Edit] You can use Gmail voice calling to call free and anonymously [/Edit] I am myself curious to know how well it holds up with substantial traffic. I can post it as an article but since it uses a third party service, the article may be construed as an ad by some.

It works great for voice, Rama. I haven't tried the SMS side yet... [EDIT] The SMS works great, too. [/EDIT]

Make it an 800 number, and I'll call it.

It requires you to wait until the guy finishes talking before accepting the ID#. Other than that and the name enunciation, good job!

Ah, maybe that's why it has consistently failed for me.

It's a long distance number. Besides that, if I'm at the computer, I don't need to make a phone call to check my rep points. I either go to the CP site, or I run CPAM. If I'm NOT at the computer, I'm typically not in a position to make a call, or I'm simply not thinking about my rep points.

What provider are you on? Alternatively, you can just use a cell phone.

Considering I am still alive and not particularly maimed in any way, what do you think is the answer to that? :rolleyes:

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997Wow! I have never paid any long distance charges for the last 5 years or so. But then I have been using only VOIP service providers. Alternatively, you can use Gmail/Google Voice to call long distance for free.

True :-) Well you are just going to have to take my word for it, and I know that's asking a lot because we all know that programmers can be utter liars online!

Software Zen:
delete this;A lot of land line companies are offering flatrate long distance packages now; for some odd reason they tend not to advertise them to people who would actually save money by switching from a per minute plan. :rolleyes: My parents only found out that their telco offered on when the AOL number they were using was discontinued, AOL automatically found a new number without checking it was local, and ran up several hundred dollars of phone charges. The only good thing I'll say about that debacle is that at the end of it they switched over to DSL.

I have a landline without long distance service. I have a cell phone that calls other cell phones for free (I think). If I call a long distance landline with it, I get charged. I'm not one to go chasing after every new gadget or technology everytime a manufacturer farts, and I don't fret over whether or not my current phone plan is the cheapeast one I can find. I have much more worthwhile stuff to do than to worry about it. I have a "smart" phone, but it's almost worthless to me because the only thing I do on it is use it as a phone and a watch. Nothing else on it interests me in the least.
