Proxy your phone number with Twilio Programmable Voice and Twilio Functions

You can quickly buy phone numbers from around the world using Twilio's Super Network. You can specify a specific area code to buy a phone number that is local to a certain state, territory, or region. With Twilio Voice, you can integrate voice communication into your applications. To create a proxy phone number, you need to attach logic to it by configuring webhooks on your Twilio phone number. A proxy phone number hides your real phone number and forwards calls to your private phone number. You can also proxy text messages using this setup, which is useful for protecting your privacy when signing up for services or taking phone calls while on air. The process involves buying a Twilio phone number, configuring webhook URLs with Twilio Functions, implementing voice and message proxies, and testing the functionality. To enhance security, you could add passcode functionality to verify whether the call originated from your private phone number or someone else's phone number. This solution works for protecting a single phone number with a single Twilio proxy phone number, but using Twilio Proxy can provide more scalability when needing to proxy multiple phone numbers or create proxies as needed by your application.
