Twilio, the cloud communications platform for developers, has partnered with T-Mobile to unveil Twilio Programmable Wireless, the first communications platform designed for developers to easily program cellular connectivity. The announcement was made the SIGNAL, the developer conference for communications.

Through API’s, developers and businesses can now enable a wide range of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and customized communications for any device that is connected over the cellular network. With programmable cellular capabilities, developers and enterprises can now create their own customized carrier solution with the ability to program every call, text and data packet that interacts with a mobile device.

Twiliio’s new ‘Devices’ API enables developers to provision Twilio SIM Cards directly from their applications. Software can now remotely control SIM activation, data usage and bandwidth limits. The commands API provides machine-to-machine connectivity even in areas without data coverage or to preserve battery power. The same API provides granular usage data.

Twilio SIM Cards will also fully support Twilio Programmable Voice and Programmable SMS, giving developers access to the power of the Twilio cloud for both machine and human communications.

Twilio said the developer kit will be available broadly in the fourth quarter of 2016.
