Hi:

I have been looking for an MMS perl module that will send say an audio 
file with a message to a land line and then play the audio file when the 
land line is answered.

So far, I have come up empty.

Twilio can be used to do this.

https://metacpan.org/pod/WWW::Twilio::API
https://metacpan.org/pod/WWW::Twilio::TwiML

Nobody in the US really offers RCS/MMS to landlines (outside of few
providers who are expanding to offer SMS/MMS, but that's still not what
you're after).

Twilio supports this service. I don't know their rates but they are very competitive on SMS rates. I wrote a Twilio SMS driver on CPAN.

If you have hardware like a RAS (e.g. Patton) you might be able to do something without the middleman service but I doubt it would be as cheap as what Twilio provides.

 I looked into doing something like this over a modem at one time but it did not seem possible.

In days long past, I wrote code to interact with modems, including dialing
and connecting via SLIP or PPP, but also to send audio messages.

Unfortunately it was on Windows and at a previous employer so I no longer
have access to the code, and I do not remember the details.   Modem work is
definitely doable but so old it may not have stack overflow help for you.

There's always Asterisk + a SIP trunk, PRI, or FXO port if you want to go
the real DIY approach. (or another whole suite of opensource VoIP
platforms).

They call the service Programmable Voice?https://www.twilio.com/voice????
The REST API is very simple and there are a few Perl libs to interface with parts of their API.?https://metacpan.org/search?q=twilio??

The?https://metacpan.org/pod/WWW::Twilio::API?lib has an example to "make a phone call"?
My SMS Lib is?https://metacpan.org/pod/SMS::Send::NANP::Twilio??

Michael R. Davis?
mrdvt92?

CPAN mrdvt?

This brings back memories.
I remember a Perl guy who had a habit of filling
up the Inbox of anybody he took a disliking to.
For some unknown reason he took a disliking to
me - imagine that :-)? I had to write a script,
not Perl as I recall, that signed on the modem
every 15 minutes, downloaded the e-mails, and threw
away all his e-mails.? That went on for about a week
and then he finally quit when it never filled up.
