PORecommendation for Phone Verification Web Service?
text
Body
copied!<p><strong>Goal</strong>: I have a business database website full of businesses. Business owners want to claim ownership of their business records. I need to verify that they own the business by calling the phone number on file with a randomly generated code which they will then submit to my site, thus making them Ruler Of Their Kingdom and Master Of Their Domain.</p> <p>I need a service service that would facilitate this by exposing an API that allows me to provide it a phone number and a 6 digit code at which point it will call the given phone number and tell the user the given code.</p> <p><strong>Platform</strong>: Rails 3</p> <p><strong>Problem</strong>: Based on my Googling, there are a plethora of services that provide this functionality and they all generally look to do the same thing for about the same price. I have no idea how to pick one.</p> <p><strong>How you can help</strong>: Suggest a service you've used that you liked.</p> <p>My main concern is finding a reliable company that is established and not likely to go anywhere anytime soon. I have no problem writing an API wrapper myself if the service is awesome, but obviously a service that already has a Ruby Gem would get an edge. Price is not really too big of a concern because this will be somewhat low-volume. <strong>If by any chance there is such a service that also does snail-mail verification (should the business owner prefer to receive a post-card with their code) that would be a HUGE bonus</strong></p> <p>I've already found these services that seem like potential possibilities:</p> <ol> <li>http://called.in/</li> <li>https://www.tropo.com/</li> <li>http://www.twilio.com/</li> <li>http://www.onverify.com/</li> </ol> <p>As always, thank you to everyone in advance for sharing your expertise!</p>
