ZippCall▲136You may have heard Microsoft is closing down Skype in a month: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43202052#43202881 As someone originally from the UK who spends a significant amount of time in Morocco, I constantly faced the challenge of making affordable and straightforward calls back home, especially to essential services like my bank or credit card company - Skype always made it easier for me with their outgoing to calls to a regular phone number. I used Skype 2/3 times a week. When I heard they were closing down, and saw a post by @levelsio on X, I put my head to…

I built Voklit because I was tired of paying $2+/min to call banks and airlines overseas. Needed a US number that works anywhere with actual affordable rates. It's a web-based VoIP service (mobile apps coming soon). You get a real US phone number, pay-as-you-go minutes on top of a small subscription that covers the infrastructure. Bootstrapped, solo founder. Built with [Go/Next.js/ and Websockets] if anyone's curious about the stack. Adding more countries soon. Happy to answer questions or hear feedback.

If you text 8145594701, it will send back an image with the prompt you specified. Currently only US numbers can send/receive texts because Twilio. Sorry to the rest of the planet! I think this will likely fall over but I figured this would be a cool little thing to demo. I removed the NSFW filter so be mindful of your prompts! I don't persist numbers and there is no linkages being saved between the original text message and the generated images.

I built a little script that gives me a fake phone call to escape boring and awkward situations. I bought a virtual number from twilio and saved it as one of my relatives. Whenever I feel stuck, I just tap a button called “ESCAPE” on my phone. It sends a request to my remote server. The server runs a small Python script which schedules an actual call. After a minute, my phone rings and plays a pre-recorded audio. I simply say “sorry, I’m getting a call” and walk away. A tiny project, but it has saved me so many times. Script -…
