Great work. I noticed on the Dan Siroker (optmizely) slide that he states them having 140 customers, is that number right? Their site says 6000.

Ask HN: International Calling

from the ask-hn dept.

Say if I wanted to make an international phone calling app [1], where would one begin?Who do I contact (ATT, VZW)?How big are the margins for companies in the phone/sms space, like Rebtel? I'm looking for an API like Twilio, but their rates are ridiculous.
