Not yet, but something that I really would like to offer.

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

I've built https://cophone.io - your online smartphone, complete with a phone number. It is an Android system running in the cloud that you can access via a browser, even on mobiles. Things like microphone and webcam work n

Release a new version of my product. If that goes well, focus on marketing.

Thank you for your feedback! I will have a look at the alternatives you proposed.

Thank you, this is useful! Indeed risk mitigation is crucial for companies. Your points are really good, I think they struck a good balance between functionality and security. One other thing that I am considering, since it is a popular req

The VM without a phone number was a way to offer free trials without having a phone number. Will see if it takes the test of time. > I assume the VM's are running /e/. Yes. > Have you tried installing any of the MDM&#x2

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.

Sorry again for that, we had some issues scaling up. Your cophone is up and running!

Cophones are running an Android version from e/OS/ You can access the virtual smartphone from a browser running in a physical smartphone. Unfortunately not all smartphones/browsers support it.

a) AFAIK Canonical's Anbox does NOT give you a phone number. Also afaik, they don't provide a recent Android version, so you're stuck with a really old version. b) This is a really good point! I don't know atm, I'

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.

Thank you for the feedback! Indeed, this is something that I have learned from the comments here: that cophone needs to forward the notifications from the virtual smartphone to the physical one(s). Will put it on high priority!

Think BYOD, but without mixing personal and business data. So you can just open a browser on your personal mobile phone and access your work phone. Then, when you're in front of your (work) laptop, you just open a browser tab to access

Haha, only time will tell. But there are already some patterns that can guide me further, so I appreciate all the feedback and try to learn from it.

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. And when you're at work, you can access it on you

You can use your personal phone to access it, BYOD style but completely separated from your personal data.

I am exploring having an app, I think that makes more sense for everybody.

by t1tech 3y ago
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Cophones run e/OS/, which is an Android based OS.

You won't need to carry your work phone anymore, you can just access it in a browser on your personal phone or on your work laptop without any data being shared between them. Also you cannot lose your work phone as you would with a phy

Do you happen to know more about how the companies that only offer the phone numbers prevent fraud?
29.
by t1tech 3y ago
Yes, from what I've tested. You obviously need a device with a touch screen though (a physical mobile phone, tablet or laptop with a touchscreen)

This is exactly one of the use cases of cophone.
