Anonymous call flow

[Greg Tracy]

Have you cracked the problem of making anonymous phone calls? Without actually building it myself, I thought of this technique....

Throw two people into a conference call. You would call each person via the REST interface and then turn around and interrupt each person specifying a URL that returns the conference room...

- call seeker, call helper  - /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Calls that uses the GOTV number in the 'From' field
- interrupt both with a URL that produces  <Response><Dial><Conference>casenumber</Conference></Dial></Response>

The 'casenumber' needs to be unique for each seeker/helper pair.

There's probably another way to do this that interrupts one of the callers with TwiML that uses the <Dial> verb, but I'm not sure.
