The sign-up and phone number acquisition flows were seamless. Excited to try calling now!
Remarkable work - thank you!
Been using Google Voice for _years_ and it's only gotten worse.
I know that the whole schtick is that you don't need an app, but is one on the table for Android? Things like native integration with the Dialer and Notifications are a strong candidate for a native integration.
Oh. And JP phone numbers, but that's a stretch goal.
Will put the number porting on our radar very soon.
“Native integration” as in?
Notifications on webapps aren’t a foreign concept today, either.
How much time it took? I started in April, but started coding enf of May
You started earning? Yes, 2 paying customers, very very minimal but that prooves the need I think
How are you advertising? Hard, still trying to market to it
Why not people call from there phone for international call? It's expensive; this is a cheaper option for sure.
Voklit : 0.05$ / minute
Countries like Germany start at $ 0.0147 / min
Mytello is 0.05CAD / minute.
Even without GV there are other lower cost options. The actual (wholesale) cost of these services are around what GV charge or less, a 5+ times mark up is pretty rich.
Many SaaS offer are just removal of friction.
Encrypted Calls
All calls are encrypted with TLS 1.2+ for signaling and SRTP with AES-128 for audio. Your conversations stay private during transmission.
I would consider re-phrasing this so that limitation is more clear, for people who may misinterpret that encryption claim, unless you've found a way to encrypt PSTN signalling and audio which would be a much more impressive feat.
Thanks for flagging this.
I'm guessing that the price in $ is USD but as we also have $ in Canada, it can be misleading, especially when 1USD~=1.35CAD
I am Egyptian living in Europe, so I want to support it, but I left it for a bit.
There are a lot of telephony providers out there (Twilio, Bandwidth, etc.) So it's easy to start building.
1. your privacy policy
> Third Parties
> - Twilio: Calls, SMS, phone numbers
2. your pricing and twilio's pricing
Twilio: $0.0140 / min
You: $0.05 / min
(0.05 - 0.0140) / 0.0140 * 100 = 257%
our markup is mere 30% not 257%.
thanks for the checks up tho :)
Cheapest reliable (as in 100%, GV works ok for me in general, but not perfect) way I've found in my research of this is to get a Tello Mobile #, as they are just a t-mobile MVNO, so the numbers are part of t-mobile's pool, so that costs $5-6 a month at the minimum, depending how you configure it.).
That's easy.
If you mean enterprise support, that's on the grid, if I have enough money to quit and focus / hire for Voklit. I would do that.
