Testing IncomingPhoneNumber Factory Resource

Dear Twilio,

I want to test some REST API calls -- specifically Local IncomingPhoneNumber Factory Resource - to generate new phone numbers to associate with clients. However, I'd like to have a way to test these calls without generating a $5 charge per line on my account.

Is there a way I can test this API without generating lots of charges?

How do charges work for phone lines that are only on an account for a portion of the month -- are these lines pro-rated?

Thanks so much!

Calvin

Access to Developer Sandbox Phone # (After Trial)

I recently activated a phone number w/ Twilio. Do I still have access to the developer test phone # once I've activated a phone number (ended the trial)?

I want to be able to continue improving and testing my application, but don't want to do it on the phone number I just setup as I'd like that number and the code it runs on to remain stable.

I added this functionality to my PHP application using Tarzan-AWS's (http://tarzan-aws.com/) API to Amazon S3. (You'll have to install/configure Tarzan before this code will work, but this snippet shows you the basics.) This is the PHP for the Record handler.


<?php require_once('tarzan/tarzan.class.php');
$my_s3_bucket = 'my-s3-bucket-name';

$url = $_REQUEST['RecordingUrl'];
$s3 = new AmazonS3();
$s3_url = $s3?>store_remote_file($url . '.mp3', $twilio_bucket, 's3_recording_name.mp3', array('acl' => S3_ACL_PUBLIC));
?>

Headers for audio files in from Amazon S3

What headers should I have set for audio files stored on Amazon S3 and played using the Play verb in TwiML?

e.g. <play>http://my-fake-bucket-name.s3.amazona...</play>

I'm using wav files w/ mime-type set to "audio/wav". It works correctly the first time I call, but every additional time I call (using developer sandbox) I'm unable to hear the audio play. I'm guessing it's some kind of issue either with the headers or with the caching.

Seesmic Desktop default account for posting updates

By default, Seesmic Desktop sets "Share As" to the first account as listed in alphabetical order. This has caused problems a couple of times when I posted items to the wrong identity as I expect it to be set to the one I last used when closing the application.

In a perfect world, I'd like to be able to indicate in the Settings which account I want to post-to by default so when I load the application I wouldn't have to change "Share As" to my primary Twitter account.

Thanks!

They're testing out a new sidebar "persistent search" feature, but they haven't enabled it for all users yet because they're making sure they have enough servers to handle everybody. @biz posted about it on the blog: http://blog.twitter.com/2009/04/disco...
