- prakash 18y agoGood idea. And integrate is as a hosted/managed service similar to discuss.
- vaksel 18y agothis looks pretty much like it http://www.phoneconfirm.com/ http://www.phoneconfirm.com/
- comatose_kid 18y agoThanks for the link. I think there is room to improve on the pricing. I wonder if there are other outfits that do this.
- spolsky 18y agoAnother one is http://www.maxmind.com/app/telephone_overview http://www.maxmind.com/app/telephone_overview This is a classy company, very reliable. We've been using them successfully for years for fraud prevention in online credit card charging.
- ScottWhigham 18y agoHere. here. We use MaxMind.com for their GeoIP product too
- sethg 18y agoHow does phone verification work with customers who are deaf? Does the API could provide an option where the computer calling the customer plays Baudot code [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baudot_code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baudot_code] instead of speaking the numbers in English?
- pgebhard 18y agoText messages could work in that case, no?
- Tichy 18y agoMaybe, but on the other hand it would be painful if many sites would start using phone verification.
