Ruby: Make a call from browser using Twilio

Question

I want to call from my browser to customer phone number using Twilio. I am using toturial of Twilio. I have already an account that I am using for sending sms to my users. Now I want to make phone calls too. This is the code that I am using at my controller

account_sid = "My Twilio account SID"
auth_token = "My Twilio auth"
sender = "My Twilio from number"
capability = Twilio::Util::Capability.new account_sid, auth_token
capability.allow_client_outgoing "My Twilio Twiml app sid"
#capability.allow_client_incoming "jenny"
@token = capability.generate

And this is the javascript code

  Twilio.Device.setup("<%= @token %>", {debug: true});

  Twilio.Device.ready(function (device) {
      $("#log").text("Ready");
  });

  Twilio.Device.error(function (error) {
      $("#log").text("Error: " + error.message);
  });

  Twilio.Device.connect(function (conn) {
      $("#log").text("Successfully established call");
  });

  Twilio.Device.disconnect(function (conn) {
      $("#log").text("Call ended");
  });

  Twilio.Device.incoming(function (conn) {
      $("#log").text("Incoming connection from " + conn.parameters.From);
      // accept the incoming connection and start two-way audio
      conn.accept();
  });

  function call() {
      // get the phone number to connect the call to
      params = {"PhoneNumber": $("#number").val()};
      Twilio.Device.connect(params);
  }

  function hangup() {
      Twilio.Device.disconnectAll();
  }

But when I try to load my page, it gives me Error: No valid account. I have double checked my credentials and same credentials are successfully sending sms but here it is creating problem. Can any one guide me what Am I doing wrong?

I am doing it on localhost

Twilio developer evangelist here. Where do you get the "no valid account" error message? In the controller or the JavaScript? Everything looks good to me at the moment. — philnash, Apr 02 '15 at 12:59
What do you get if you try to log the `@token` in the browser? — philnash, Apr 02 '15 at 13:03
Huh, can you email me at philnash@twilio.com with any more details that you can't share here? — philnash, Apr 02 '15 at 13:17
what information you actually in need of? Let me tell and I will send you — Awais Qarni, Apr 02 '15 at 13:20
Uh, actually, I can't think of anything else you can give me, would be better to take this out of SO though. — philnash, Apr 02 '15 at 13:26
Well, you can either email me, on the above email address and I'll try to debug with you, or you could email help@twilio.com and they will get you sorted too. — philnash, Apr 02 '15 at 13:38

Megan from Twilio here. You mention you're on localhost. You would need to make your URL publicly accessible. If you're not ready for production, testing with something like Ngrok will allow you to tunnel your localhost to a publicly available URL.
