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?
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.
He 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.
I have no clue where you came up with these assumptions and the arbitrary markup.
Are 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%
Thanks for pointing out the outdated content, we don't use twilio, we use telnyx.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 :)
