Bears of Manitou Mobile App. http://bearsofmanitou.com/2012/04/twilio-help/ http://bearsofmanitou.com/2012/04/twilio-help/#comments Fri, 20 Apr 2012 21:29:04 +0000 Gabe https://bearsofmanitou.com/?p=604 Hey there doers! As you may have heard we made a Mobile Application using Twilio to let our fans hear our songs anywhere they have a phone by dialing 1-866-25BEARS. Well we ran into some problems. We started getting spammed from this number “(800) 617-4311″ It was costing us money. I called it and it rings back to Time Warner Cable support line. THANKS TIME WARNER, no I do NOT have an account. So I reached out to the awesome Twilio support team and was given this resource.

While the page is very helpful, it doesn’t explain how to get back to your app (which is really easy) so I thought I would share it here.

<?php
// Set your voice URL to http://yourapp.com/reject.php
$blacklist = array(‘+18006174311′, ‘+11231231231′);

if (in_array($_REQUEST['From'], $blacklist)):
echo “<Response><Reject/></Response>”;
else:
echo “<Response><Redirect>handle-incoming-call.xml</Redirect></Response>”;
endif;

Simply do everything the above tutorial tells you, and make sure to add the to get you back to your app. That’s all!

This was not planned, but a good friend of ours (William Justin Williams) come to town with a camera. We were rehearsing before our show with Sucre tonight, and we started recording it… So we made a video. It feels good to continue to create everything on our own.

Wednesday we are kicking off two big things.

  1. Our venture to SXSW w/ our friend Kymberlee
  2. Releasing our debut full-length digital album Origins. (Not yet live in the iTunes Store)

Things you need to know:

Our digital album will be available on most all digital mediums including iTunes, Spotify, Bandcamp, Amazon and more. BUT – iTunes will be the first on 3/14/2012. Mark your calendar!

We are planning two subsequent releases following this one.

  1. CD Release show: TBD
  2. Vinyl Release show: TBD

That’s right…we are making a vinyl version of Origins.

Lastly, we are updating our iPhone app so you can download it from ANYWHERE. The first release was a little big and you had to be connected to WIFI to download. We streamlined some things, and now it should be small and agile ;)
