Prerequisites: You will need a virtual number and a SIP phone from Africa’s Talking.

When your virtual number is called, we notify you of the incoming call through your callback URL. You can then respond with a dial action asking us to forward the call to your SIP number.

Also, look at how we handle calls here and more on SIP phones here.

Here is a sample response that you can send(Python/flask): 

from flask import Flask, request 

app = Flask(__name__) 
@app.route("/", methods=["GET", "POST"]) 
def say(): 
    response = '<?xml version="1.0"?>' 
    response += '<Response>' 
    response += '<Dial phoneNumbers="your-sip-phone" callerId="Your-AT-Number"/>'
    response += '</Response>' 
    return response 

if __name__ == "__main__": 
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8080, debug=True)
