How do I try out Twilio Voice from the console?

Objective

This article helps you run a guided Voice demo directly from the Twilio Console, so you can see how a programmable voice call behaves before you write any code.

 

Product

Programmable Voice

 

Environment

Twilio Console

 

Procedure

  1. In the Twilio Console, select Communications in the left sidebar.
  2. Select Voice, then Overview.
  3. Locate the try-it-out card. On an upgraded account it is titled Explore how you can program multi-step voice calls; on a trial account it invites you to demo how a single menu turns into a dynamic, multi-step experience.
  4. Select the try-it-out action:
    • On an upgraded account, select Try Voice. The button also shows how much trial allowance you have left, for example Try Voice • 75 minutes.
    • On a trial account, select Try Out Voice.
  5. The demo opens in a panel beside the overview page. Follow the prompts in the panel to place the demo call.

 

Additional Information

The count shown on the Try Voice button reflects your remaining allowance for the demo and is never shown as a negative number. Units vary by account, and may appear as minutes, calls, or uses.

Trial accounts also see an educational section titled Power every call with TwiML, which explains how TwiML lets you control the handling of incoming calls, from greeting messages to hold music and callbacks.
