Would this be an example of implementing the new API?

Have calls to your mobile number ring to a phone or computer in your house (wifi or wired).

No, this API is not for reusing your existing number. It's about building applications with new phone numbers.

Thanks for the quick response. Would be neat to do with existing numbers, but I know that would involve a great deal more trickery or porting of numbers.

We think it would be neat to do this sort of thing with existing numbers, too. That's why we released Ameche a couple of months ago. http://voxeolabs.com/ameche/overview/

Built by the same folks as Tropo was, so the couple hundred thousand Tropo developers will find the Ameche API familiar.

As it gains carrier support, you'll be able to do all this with your existing mobile number.
