Connecting 2 phones and only listen from 1?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hey everyone it’s been a while, I haven’t been developing apps for a while since I started doing web development. I’m catching up on everything new that’s been going on in Corona SDK and while starting a new project I have a question that i’m not too sure how to approach. 

Question: I want 2 phones to connect so that the person talking from phone A could be heard from the person using phone B. I don’t want a phone call, Phone A can only talk but not listen to phone B and phone B can only listen to phone A but not talk to it. Does this makes sense or is a bit confusing?

Anyone have any experience with a similar situation and can point me in the right direction? I came across a VoiP plugin that I “think” might be a great start. But would really appreciate hearing your opinions or advices with this. Thank’s in advance!

Am I right in understanding that you essentially want to make a sort of “radio” app, where one user is broadcasting and the others are receiving?  

I’m assuming the VoiP plugin is the Twilio one. Unfortunately the site seems to be down so I can’t look at the docs to help, but do they not have “mute” flags that can be set?

I guess you can call it a “radio” app, where one user is broadcasting and the others are receiving sounds like a good definition of what I’m trying to accomplish. Twilio VoiP plugin seemed like a great start but seeing as it only works for Android I’m trying to find another route or perhaps Corona SDK can accomplish it without using a plugin. Thank’s so much Alan QuizTix for your response and hopefully I can get some more advices on this I’m sure someone else might be looking for the same answers as me.

Corona SDK does not have the capabilities to do this.

Well that’s a disappointment, thank’s Rob for letting me know.

You would need a plugin built by someone else or get Corona Enterprise and see if you could find an iOS way to implement VOIP or similar.
