As a way to integrate voice and SMS into a Drupal site, the VoIP modules form a door throught which Drupal can move into a vast world of touch tone telephones, smart telephones, and text messaging, and therefore toward integrating a huge range of users in developing regions who use those technologies instead of desktop or laptop computers. Perhaps Boston isn’t the right place or November the right month for a workshop (although the weather was quite nice), but just four of us gathered to get the low-down on VoIP Drupal from Leo Burd, a research scientist at MIT’s Media Lab and Center for Civic Media.

Together with just a couple other developers, he is putting together modules that support Twilio and Tropo, two cloud platforms that are highly scalable and provide telephone and SMS capabilities accessible from different countries. Just a few of the many uses for VoIP in Drupal include: The Top 10 Open-Source CRM Solutions according to Inside CRM. Hash Droid.
