You could look at http://phono.com for the PhonoSDK. It can connect
you to skype, sip or PSTN destinations via Tropo applications.

I wonder though if/how you are going to have a way to check if the
number given isn't a joke. What prevents people from just typing in
all kinds of phone numbers at 6AM in California or something? Is
anyone working on that problem? Do you restrict it to hours that are
"safe" all over the USA? Is there a check of area codes?

Color me just curious...

I use the Asterisk::Manager module in PERL to do just this sort of thing.
If you did the same thing using Apache and PERL you could address each of
these issues.  I'm sure there are PHP or other ways to do this, PERL is just
my development standard due to other issues.
