Android and iOS apps for telecommunications company
A React Native-based application for callback service.
The user interface included SMS OTP-based authentication and a dial screen that also showed user information and balance.
When dialing the number, the app would send information to the Node.js-based REST API, which in turn communicated with the PHP-powered Asterisk AGI service. The AGI service was used to create a call to the user number and the dialed number and finally merge them.
The technique was used to make cheap calls during roaming but was eventually shut down for legal reasons.
