Extraordinary! Congratulations.
I’ve always been fascinated by the world of telephony.
How did you manage to get numbers for every country? Do you have direct access to SS7, are you a virtual operator, or do you use third-party services for each country?
- ahmgeek 9mo agoUsually, you need a presence in each country, like an official entity. It's easy for a myriad of countries to do that for a fee; even in Dubai, you can form a company. Then you can acquire numbers easily in these countries. I am now supporting the UK (easy to get)/US/CA, and will soon support some European countries as well. What's hard are the countries that require authority talks like Egypt :D 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.
- KomoD 9mo agoHe just uses Twilio, they handle everything, he just calls some APIs and takes a 257% markup for phone calls. Anyone can sign up, usually at most you'll need a local address.
- ahmgeek 9mo agoI have no clue where you came up with these assumptions and the arbitrary markup.
- KomoD 9mo agoAre you saying I'm wrong? 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%
- ahmgeek 9mo agoThanks for pointing out the outdated content, we don't use twilio, we use telnyx. our markup is mere 30% not 257%. thanks for the checks up tho :)
