Hi gmac, appreciate the note - understand where you're coming from.
It's really important to us at TelAPI to expose as many features to developers as possible. Telcos offer all of these features to different businesses and organizations already. Consequently, we want to ensure they're available to every developer as well.
There's so much room for innovation in the telephony space, we want to ensure TelAPI facilities it in every way possible.
We're really excited to see what you guys come up with!
This is awesome! I love seeing comments like this. You obviously know the space which is great!
I think you'll find that we're approaching telephony from a different perspective. We're a bootstrapped company of developers building a product for developers. Our users and our product are what matter most to us (along with maintaining a sustainable business of course). We love this stuff! We have no interest in catering to VCs.
How about this, I'll give you $50 in free credits (on top of the initial $25) and you can hack away with TelAPI and tell us what we're doing wrong and what we're doing right. We'd love to hear your thoughts.
1. The flat-rate is $27/mo per channel. TelAPI also offers channel bursting . This ultimately means developers and businesses have on demand access to additional channels for TelAPI numbers with unlimited inbound calls. E.g. You have 1 unlimited inbound number with 10 channels. Then you receive an 11th call. Channel bursting ensures the call can still access the application and won't ring busy.
2) CallID unmasking allows developers and businesses to identify the number and ID of calls received from 'Blocked' and 'Private' numbers to your TelAPI number
"The ability to set your outbound Caller ID to any number" - This is an attribute in our <Dial> element which allows developers to build systems that initiate calls from the phone number of their choosing. E.g. I can initiate a call to Bob from phone number (555) 555-5555. I.e. it doesn't have to be from my TelAPI number.
"Reverse carrier lookups on phone numbers"- TelAPI provides a way to look up the carrier of a phone number via the REST API.
"Flat-rate unlimited inbound calling to your TelAPI phone numbers" - For businesses/users racking up the voice mins per month, they can opt to buy an unlimited inbound channel for $27/mo instead of paying min/mo rates.
"Voice and audio effects on your phone calls" - These allow developers to modify the pitch and tone of a caller's voice (and basically make their voice sound like anyone they want). We also offer an ambient noise feature to add background noise to calls (e.g. city traffic, poor reception, etc).
"Private number Caller ID unblocking" - Upon receiving calls from blocked numbers, users are able to ascertain the callerID. Our parent company TelTech developed an application called TrapCall which takes advantage of this.
"Premium transcriptions with human processed dictation Speech recognition" - We offer four different transcription services (varying based on a developer's/business's needs) which allow consumers to record their calls and have the dialogues from the calls captured in text.
Hi ewang, thanks for pointing this out. Each telephony API handles pricing a bit differently. For instance, a production US phone number with Tropo is $3/mo whereas with TelAPI it's only $1/mo. A production toll free number with Tropo is $5/mo whereas with TelAPI it's only $2/mo.
Consumers in this space have a great deal of feature/pricing autonomy. So when it comes to selecting a telephony API that's right for them, they're well-positioned to identify the best feature/pricing balance.
Great comment, appreciate the feedback. We'll keep that in mind and perhaps tweak that statement a bit.
We do acknowledge Twilio and respect what they've done so far. Though, we're confident TelAPI's increased set of features are well-suited to satisfy the needs of developers building systems with highly custom telephony requirements. Twilio's solved 80% of the problem. We're out there to solve the remaining 20%.
Thanks balbaugh - that's an interesting thought. Definitely something I'll keep in mind. I put this together really quickly today w/ TelAPI and Zapier and was hoping to get some feedback just like that. Thanks!
thanks everyone, i totally agree. i wish we could use a db for the app that limited the length of descriptions. right now we're using brewerydb, and i agree, some of the descriptions are excessive as you mention
it doesn't look like drakes heffe is in the db unfortunately. concerning pacifico, it's in the db but it's not populated with any data. http://www.brewerydb.com/beer/xfQQiO
very interesting--appreciate the info. we're aggregating all of this feedback and will update asap. when you're not receiving responses, most of the time it's b/c the db doesn't have the beer (and we're doing a really poor job of handling this at the moment). don't worry though, we'll get it right soon. thanks again!
