MenuHow to make outbound calls on iPhone from 1-800 number we have through Twilio
We've hired someone to route calls through Twilio to our cell phone for lead generation purposes, but I want to be able to call them back through this same number on my cell phone. Is this possible?

We have built a product on Twilio that we sell to doctors offices. To my knowledge, what you're asking for is not possible as-is.
What you could do though: When someone calls, have the system text message you "Hey, this number called, click here to call them back" ... and the "click here" is a URL that hits your server and initiates the call from your server, creates a call conference, and then drops you and the person you're calling back into the call conference.

I'm looking to sell one of my iOS apps. I don't know what to set the price at for buyers. What goes into setting the price?
Ultimately, it depends on the value the app has for the buyer (not how much money you put into developing it). Unfortunately there are many reasons for a buyer to purchase an app and so there are many ways to value an app (a multiple of yearly revenues,number of active users, etc.) . A good solution to this problem is to post your app on an auction site such as http://www.apptopia.com/ and let the marketplace give you an answer. Good luck with your sale.II

What is the best approach to getting beta users for healthcare app?
My experience with online communities is mixed. Those work best if you have a value proposition that appeals to a large mass for a short period of time - i.e. a game. For something like healthcare I'd imagine you are looking to have people engage regularly and for an extended period of time. That is going to take more time to convince people to use your platform. You should be looking for your core user. If you developed personas and user stories, you can use those to identify groups to start with and expand from there. A beta test with a few hundred core users is better than 1000s of users that don't fit your model. If you didn't develop personas or user stories, I'd recommend taking time to go back and think through those. Either way, I'd be happy to help you get started. Best, BrianBC

What is the best and most cost efficient way to get exposure and downloads for my iphone app?
