Tutorial: Secure, Anonymous Phone Calls and SMS in Ruby, C#, Node, Java, PHP, or Python

It’s risky business sharing your personal contact information on this Internet. With Twilio, your users can connect with a phone call or text message without either party sharing contact information with a person they barely know. We call this technique “masked phone numbers”, and you can learn how to do it in the language of your choice in our Masked Phone Numbers tutorial.

The Masked Phone Numbers tutorial will walk you through creating a demo app we call AirTNG (Think AirBnB, but with more Klingons). Like AirBnB, users can communicate about rental listings using masked phone numbers. Check out this video for a brief overview of the tutorial and demo app.

The video above featured our Ruby tutorial, but this tutorial is available in several popular languages and frameworks:

• C# and ASP.NET MVC
• Java Servlets
• Node.js and Express
• PHP and Laravel
• Python Flask
• Ruby on Rails
