- sarvagyavaish 13y agodid Tropo not require any kind of verification on the phone numbers you were sending messages from?
- jonathanhculver 13y agoThey require an outbound token associated with your app
- toast0 13y agoThose are numbers assigned to his tropo account (at $3/month per number for a Tropo production account); Tropo doesn't allow for sender spoofing on SMS. I'm not sure why his company would run an internal SMS voting campaign, and not limit to phone numbers from the employee address book, but I'm guessing they'll start that pretty soon.
- jonathanhculver 13y agoYeah great point, I'm sure that's what they will start doing. Luckily the company is small enough that it's feasible to check against all employee phone numbers.
- arxanas 13y agoTropo looked good. I signed up. And then I changed my password... > The password you have entered is invalid. Passwords may contain numbers, letters, dashes, periods, and underscores. I guess I'm not using it.
- jonathanhculver 13y agoThat's too bad. I love them because they allow you to do all development for free and only pay when you release to production.
