About t1tech

Maker of cophone.io

I'm a high performance computing enthusiast who's taken a leap of faith into entrepreneurship to challenge myself.

I have +12 years of SWE and I'm a former CTO of a startup/scale-up. I'm a proud open source contributor and I love to get my hands dirty with everything that can be programmed. I used to solder microcontrollers onto boards that I designed!

    Cool project! Which carriers are you using and how do you get around things like A2P 10DLC?

    Thank you! That's great input! This is all very fresh so I'm still building connections. I have to admit Voip providers were not on my list but it totally makes sense.

    Yes, this is (also) on high priority. But it depends alot on the country, some have very strict regulations around this. Which countries are you mostly interested in?

    This is, unfortunately, true. Some codes will NOT be delivered to your cophone.

    You don't need to carry a work phone anymore because you can access it on your personal phone, in a browser. Think BYOD, but without mixing the personal data with the business one.…
