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.

#24Ask me anything related to the technology/revenue and whatnot...
Are these voip numbers or real phone numbers? Can they be used to receive 2FA codes?
Cheapest reliable (as in 100%, GV works ok for me in general, but not perfect) way I've found in my research of this is to get a Tello Mobile #, as they are just a t-mobile MVNO, so the numbers are part of t-mobile's pool, so that costs $5-6 a month at the minimum, depending how you configure it.).

#25Been using Google Voice for _years_ and it's only gotten worse.
I know that the whole schtick is that you don't need an app, but is one on the table for Android? Things like native integration with the Dialer and Notifications are a strong candidate for a native integration.
Oh. And JP phone numbers, but that's a stretch goal.

You can do that with Google Voice for free and much lower rates. US/UK/Aus are 1 cent per minute versus 5 on your system, thats your competition.
Mytello is 0.05CAD / minute.
