Twilio with Silent Network Authentication

Question

Would like to know any example (nodeJS) on the Silent Network Authentication feature with Twilio.

Also, can this be used to verify a local non-twilio telephone number and there by we can use the number as outgoing caller id?

Please help.

Answer 1

You can use the same method you would use for a "regular" verification request. The only thing you need to change is the channel parameter:

// Download the helper library from https://www.twilio.com/docs/node/install
// Find your Account SID and Auth Token at twilio.com/console
// and set the environment variables. See http://twil.io/secure
const accountSid = process.env.TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID;
const authToken = process.env.TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN;
const client = require('twilio')(accountSid, authToken);

client.verify.v2.services('VAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
                .verifications
                .create({to: '+15017122661', channel: 'sna'})
                .then(verification => console.log(verification.sid));

You can find this and other snippets in the documentation .

Regarding the second question. Local numbers won't work as the SNA technology build on top of the standardized GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) authentication.
