We’re starting a project where we need to make outgoing phonecalls that  
will play a pre-recorded message to the logged-in user.

The only service I can find to do this is [jaduka.com](http://jaduka.com), however they don’t  
allow calls outside the US and Canada. We need to make our calls to  
Netherlands phone numbers.

Anyone know of any web-based services that we could use?

TIA  
Nick

Hiya,

Spend an hour installing AsteriskNow. Get a VOIP account at Voxee or  
some such, and then build up a script to make the calls. It’s not a  
no-brainer, but certainly do-able.

Regards,

Rich D.

I second that. I’m a longtime Asterisk fan.

Check out: [http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-agi/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-agi/)

or just Google ruby asterisk, search yields plenty of results.
