Request to use Twilio API for Calling and SMSing #125

Twilio API

There's a possibility that we'll have to setup a web server to handle the HTTP POST requests from Twilio API as well.

Use of API is ok, but the app should not depend on a server you run on a different computer. Reason: Once the app is submitted for final evaluation, the app should continue to work for an indefinite period of time. If it depends on your own web server, there is always the possibility that web server is taken down and the app stops working. But it's fine if you package the server into the app so that it starts up automatically when the app is run.
