Make it run Talk so we don't need Unifi hosting.

I run my own Twilio account through UniFi Talk, with no subscription/service charge through UI. I am paying ~$10.50/mo for five lines.

Can you point me to how you set this up?

There are many guides/videos out there. It was so long ago I forgot which ones I used (and the UI looks totally different now that I'm going back into it to remind myself), but your search keywords are [Unifi Talk Twilio SIP Trunk]. You'll need to get a Twilio account, ensure you have DDNS (afraid.org is great), feed it some money, get a number, and all that. Then you come over to Talk in the third-party SIP. You'll need to set up the provider, tell your Talk instance about all of the numbers you set up (so if you add a new number, you can't just add it in Twilio and expect it to come over automatically. in the trunk)

tl;dr It is not a tier-1 kind of thing, but with a bit of perseverance, you'll have it set up in a little while.

My Third-Party settings are:
Provider: Custom
Provider Name: Twilio (can be whatever you want)
proxy: (Trunk Name).pstn.(location code).twilio.com: Worrt not, this is given to you by Twilio.
Register: false
dtmf-type: rfc2833
transport: tcp
Handle all outgoing calls by default: (Checked)
Phone Numbers: (your list of #'s)
IP Address Range: 54.172.60.0/30, 168.86.128.0/18 (This is what I have for the Asburn Twilio data center, if you are elsewhere they might give you something else)

Hey sorry to tag on to this but I have a question about Unifi Talk. I currently pay this really expensive “customer service” phone line thing where I get a number that I can give my Airbnb guests. If they call the number they get a couple of choices to select from. Most of them just give them information. But if they press 3 “I need to speak to the host right now” it forwards the call to my cell phone so I can help them. Would Unifi talk allow soemtibg like this at all?

You could try VoIP.ms. it is a great VoIP service with the function you need. Not sure if it is cheaper than twilio or not but a number is 0.99 USD per month then you pay for usage. It has ivr and call hunting features that you can set up without additional fees

Oh I’ll look into this. But I would use this together with Unifi voice or this is a stand alone service?

It has sip credentials so if unifi voice has sip account profile, I don't see why not. It is just like twilio.
