Thanks for pointing out the outdated content, we don't use twilio, we use telnyx.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 :)

I have no clue where you came up with these assumptions and the arbitrary markup.

The app is in the making, and it turns out it's needed for some customers.

Will put the number porting on our radar very soon.

voip.ms requires setting up SIP credentials and configuring a softphone (or their app). Great for technical users who want maximum control and lowest rates. Voklit is for people who wish to download an app / use the browser and start calling immediately without touching any settings.

If you just want to use a Voklit number for meetings, you can already: - Set your Voklit number as caller ID when dialing out - Forward calls to your Teams/Zoom meeting dial-in

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.

You are right, I will change that now so I don't mislead users.

Thanks for flagging this.

I have monitoring in place for such behaviour, also detection for too many calls under specific amount of time with locations. I am still very new to actually have scamers finding the website I think.

Usually, 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.

How many developers developed it? Just myself, I hardly slept enough during building it, but it paid off :D

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.

Really embarrassed by it, I shared on here and on Producthunt, but got near zero engagement.

Rates are: $0.05 per minute for US/UK/CA and varies internationally, there is a whole usage and rates section in the billing page if you signup.
