@wireless_nat @Rebtel @adammarshdevon Sorry to hear @Rebtel been unresponsive, hope it get sorted. If you need a reliable alternative in the meantime, i run https://t.co/zW0mF3lJkk. No subscription on ZippCall, just top up when needed.

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

@KonradKrze @visiblecare while @visiblecare figures itself out, a VoIP app works independently of your carrier plan. I run https://t.co/zW0mF3lJkk. It lets you top up credits and call any international number without a subscription. Might be worth having as a backup while you fight for a fix from them

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

@Sumanrajcts @airtel_india @airtelindia Hey, I came across your post. If your carrier keeps stonewalling on international calling, a VoIP app bypasses that entirely - I run one called https://t.co/zW0mF3lJkk or viber and talk360 all let you call real intl numbers. Worth trying while you wait for support to respond.

Had a late night thought that I wanted to make something open source, and i’ve also been wanting to start keeping a mood diary, so introducing mymood

It’s a mood tracker that works through telegram

Super basic atm, but it does daily check-ins, mood history, notes, pause/resume

Built in Codex with GPT-5.5

try it out at https://t.co/VcvAXen59I

You can fork it, change it, improve it, do whatever with it: https://t.co/6t5bn7nx9t

@levelsio @Cloudflare I moved from Resend to SES, just got AI to setup Plunk on my VPS, took maybe an hour wasn't much effort at all. Biggest thing was getting prod access with SES but just takes a couple tries, just got AI to write the requirements for that too

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

Hey @arturorodes, this is now live in the Web app (coming soon to Android & iOS). Love for you to try it and see if it's what you're thinking. It now does 3 things:

- remembers the last country called
- shows the 3 most recent countries at the top of the country selector
- allows pasting of phone numbers in any format

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

A big update day for @zippcall : I have upgraded to a more in‑house configured network for crisper audio, more reliable calls, and even lower rates + released a faster iOS app

- 90% of countries now cost less per minute
- More countries supported (including China)
- iOS app is faster, more responsive, and smoother on weak connections

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

@madridistattia @grandlaaziz @grok translate this to English

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

@arturorodes @zippcall Hi @arturorodes, yes agreed and this gets requested a lot, there are some changes coming to the dialer soon for this and to allow pasting of numbers! Thanks for using ZippCall ✌️

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

@Nina_Roams @deltatresdenero Hey, Josh from ZippCall here. You can call any number in any country with ZippCall

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

@levelsio Awesome, will test this out later in the moroccan sun, working outside is such a pain

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

@levelsio I’ve been doing the same in Morocco recently, just walk in, no appointment needed. 5 minutes tops and you walk out done. Results the same day or next day.

Morocco is a bit closer to Brazil if you ever want to try it!

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

@denisyurchak @yasinabdelmagid @yadaphone Or @zippcall is only 6¢ a minute, if you wanna save a bit of dough 🤑

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

@s36tic @tropianhs Google voice is very US only focused tho, you cannot use it from a lot of other countries and outside the US where it does work you need a paid workspace plan

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

@SoraiaDev Feel free to DM me if you have any questions, I’ve been living and working remotely in Morocco for 2 years

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

@Ziriaab Lol.

Can you try again now @IMAC2 ? It should work.

The auth creation failed on your first attempt but still created a user account, all subsequent attempts triggered my fraud detection system and blocked you due to a bug which is now fixed.

I just followed you, any more issues DM me

[Josh Mead @JoshMead]

@IMAC2 Give me a moment I’ll look into it now!
