I want to build a simple conferencing application with Restcomm. I used example XMLs provided with restcomm to start conference and add participants to a conference, I needed two phone numbers to do it.
I have following questions for this:
1. Do I always need to dial a phone number to start the conference? Doesn't Restcomm provide any API to start the conference via HTTP.
2. How can I use the same application to start the conference and also add participants to conference. In the example XML with restcomm, there are two XMLs provided for conferencing (one to start the conference and other to add participant), doesn't it mean that I'll have to use two different phone numbers then for a single conference?

Over searching, I found various solutions such as -
1 - Web Scraping using selenium but that is a very inefficient way to track multiple contacts
2 - Using store object. That was one of the best ways to track WhatsApp online status for multiple numbers but after the recent update, WhatsApp has stopped showing the online status of unsaved, unchatted contacts due to which all these methods have failed.
but I wonder how various applications like -
. https://chatwatch.net/
. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.familog&hl=en_IN&gl=US
are still able to track the online status ?
After 6-7 December update, you can't.
Your ways:
Mock the XMPP Protocol
Create a real device (like emulator or android phone) and get the data on client.
Create a real device (like emulator or android phone) and get the data from Whatsapp Web.
Mock the Whatsapp Application.
Man in the middle attack to whatsapp application.
These ways deprecated because after 6/7 December Security Update if you don't have whatsapp chat history with this number, you can not subscribe his presence.
After today, if you want to track someone you have to chat with him. If you message the person you will follow before following, this will be detected by whatsapp and you will get banned.
We are looking to build our video streaming solution on Agora. We need the whiteboard too as shown in one of the demos. But upon trying the sdk, found that it requires netless api key. Where do we get that? Do we need a separate Netless account and pay for their product in order to have the white board?
I want to track a vehicle and send its coordinate locations to multiple mobile devices at the same time. Is there a way to do that? i also need to send the live feed of the buses' current location Can i do it with agora.io?
Agora Aignaling SDK is perfect for this
You can get started through their demos on Github for different platforms.
I am not a professional developer but I want to develop one project that includes sending message through mobile connected through USB port only... And if possible I want to keep it generalized, like no need for handset model and service provider name.
I don't think it's possible to do this. Certainly at the very least it would depend on the model of mobile in use.
However as an alternative approach there are companies that provide a (paid for, but not expensive) SMS service accessible via a web API. This may suit what you are trying to achieve.
I don't think you will find this easy. Messages can be sent in 2 different modes 'text' or PDU. Support for both modes is not universal across all phones. PDU is the most widely available type on modern phones, but is also the most complex. Not all mobile phones expose a modem to the computer eg. Windows mobile 6.*. Many phones use proprietory software that does not support all commands. Different phones will connect to different COM ports so this will need checking every time, and could prove tricky if there is more than one phone/modem connected. However using just one phone and sending messages in text format after configuring the settings manually the first time is very easy.

I'm wanting to move away from using $phonenumber#$provider domain because it is too limited in usability.
Is there a SMS service with a good API (prefer HTTP/s, XML, JSON) that allows you to send from a specific phone number?
The reason I want it to come from a specific phone number is because I have a Google Voice number I use for my business...
Since you want to use your google voice phone number maybe you just want to send the SMS though google voice. One way to connect w/ google voice is to use the Asterisk software. You would use Asterisk to talk to google voice over the SIP protocal - documented here:

and

For example I did this and then I interface asterisk from ruby code and can make calls, sms, etc.
Twilio will let you set the FROM number to any Twilio number that you own. Of course, you'd have to give up your Google Voice phone number. I'm pretty sure you won't find any SMS service that allows you to set the FROM number to an arbitrary number (just think of the mess it would cause).
See comment below indicating that the Google Voice number could be ported to Twilio.
