Choose how you want to call the Numbers Station:
- Dial +44-1234817666 from any telephone in the world, or 01234817666 if you’re in the UK.
- Dial +1-253-7531856 from any telephone in the world, or (253) 753-1856 if you’re in the USA.
After the beep type some numbers. * will be replaced by space; waiting a short while or dialling # will end your message.
After the second beep the digits you dialled with be posted to the Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/441234817666.
The call will then end.

implemented in Asterisk
using sipgate.co.uk for the PSTN side of things
a small Python script
using the bleeding-edge version of python-twitter so as to work around a tty-related bug
