Hello guys,

Can you tell me more about BOOST in detail? Usually high risk startups do need loans but the % in interest is quite high...actually you have to give up % of
your startup to venture capitalist in order to receive funds.

Your model is quite interesting and noble I would say.
I would also like to thank you for investing into my own project. I would not go into very detail since the project is described here:

https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/nxt-powered-virtual-mobile-operator-binding-contract/msg100515/#msg100515

But in overall, i would like to create a voip service that NXT users will use to cut their expenses on long distance and international calls and invest in NXT at the same time.
Usually, 3rd party services would sell the NXT earned, thus not helping the price of NXT...this one will setup a goal of 0.001B and when the goal is reach it will give dividends to the shareholders and set up another goal.

Please,let me know what you think?

Just a concern

I don't know how this service would make money. Long distance is a cut throat business. And now we have T-mobile letting users make international long distance at very low cost. Within US, you have services like Ooma & Magic .. Which is very low cost.

What would be your cost to make calls? I think, you would need to generate millions of minutes before making profit. No?

Of course, I do not want to discourage you. I will take a look at the link also.

Thank You

Thank you PhoneOperator. Here are some additional questions..

>Our Platform connects calls directly to their destination, without the disruption of transcoding - calls are routed point-to-point, with low latency, without SBCs (Session Border Controllers). - See more at: http://numberservice.com/#sthash.kC8YNi2G.dpuf

1) So you bridging the calls with 3pcc?

The sentence above comes from the voip provider since it is doing the real job connecting to PSTNs

>Record all your incoming and outgoing conversations and refer to them later - See more at: http://numberservice.com/#sthash.kC8YNi2G.dpuf
2a) is the media going thru your servers?

yes, the media is going though my servers

2b) How many simultaneous calls can it handle?

It is a freeswitch instance on it's own rackspace server in theory if the RAM is upgraded ( right now it is 1GB) it shall handle 1000 simultaneous calls.

2c) Is the media going over private connection or internet? If over private connection, what is the cost to interconnect?

It is going through internet, the privacy is related only to hiding your number and in case of spoof call (available though the main site with the same credits) you can also change your voice.

3) Do you have your own gateways or using a VoIP provider?
using a voip provider

> I am using an enterprise grade voip provider.
4) How are you interconnected? Over Internet or private connection?
Internet

5) What number do you put in the 'calling party number' field on outgoing calls (SIP From, Contact, P-Asserted-Identity and Privacy Headers)?
It depends on the case, for the phone number I put the the phone number that you buy, for the spoof call - whichever number you like as long as it is valid phone number.

6) If you integrate this service with, let's say NXTTY ;-), how do you provide privacy? Seems like you are using a gateway. How is the stream to gateway? Is it encrypted ? (SRTP?)

There is encryption on the voice stream.

7) What protocols do you use ? SIP, RTP, SRTP?

SIP

Where do you buy your phone numbers from?

Twilio, but only for the phone numbers, the calls are routed though FlowRoute for better quality.

Like the speediness of the site :-).  I think linking up with  apps like NXTTY (assuming it will be successful) will probably help more. The UI on NXTTY will just provide the interface to your backend API code. I like the service that you provide. I am not sure how much you can charge for it to be profitable.

I think that NXTTY has their own solution that they are working on. I am also planing to integrate with other services but this is a long shot for now.

regards.

Sincerely
