Hi HN,
As a weekend project, I hacked together a physical phone, a Raspberry Pi running Asterisk and Twilio, to let toddlers safely make international calls.
I’ve documented the setup in this write-up and published the code + Ansible playbooks on GitHub so others can replicate it.
I built this so kids of expats can easily stay in touch with family on other continents.
Would love feedback from anyone who’s worked on something similar or tries building this themselves!
