Everything you need to know about connecting Twilio numbers on iPhone, Android, configuration settings, fees, or data policies.
By default, Twilio does not offer a mobile app for calling or texting. ReachTo App solves this. You simply download ReachTo on Android or iPhone, input your Twilio Credentials (Account SID, Auth Token), and within 2 minutes of self-service onboarding, your Twilio phone numbers appear on screen ready to place and receive standard high-quality cellular VoIP calls and write SMS.
No, Twilio does not provide a mobile dialer, softphone, or consumer-facing mobile app. Twilio is exclusively a platform of APIs and developer tools for communication. ReachTo App is a secure client built specifically to act as the missing official-feeling softphone for Twilio number owners.
Once connected, ReachTo displays your active Twilio numbers. You select the default Twilio number you wish to display, dial any national or international destination via our intuitive numeric softphone keypad, or choose any synced contact, and tap Call. The system proxies the call stream securely under standard carrier VoIP rates.

Absolutely. When you install ReachTo, we configure a secure webhook URL (or you can use our instant SIP softphone profile) that forwards incoming calls on your Twilio number directly to the app. You receive native-feeling incoming call rings on your mobile device, even when the app runs in the background, utilizing secure push notifications.
