Helping people communicate while trying to improve as a communicator myself.
I was browsing around on Hacker News and if you’re not familiar, the good stuff is usually in the comments. I was intrigued by this comment (by @kkielhofner) and how he/she illustrates a common but often overlooked misconception about SIP.

NYC phone numbers – Inside scoop
So I thought it would be a neat idea to write a little about popular area codes -their history, availability, technical aspects, and perhaps the occasional pop culture reference. Given that we started in NYC, it only makes sense to start with the big apple. I’ve been outside the city for a while now so […]
Remember those sheets of grid paper they used to hand out in elementary school, the ones you’d use for geometry or to draw graphs. I personally was always attracted to grids, so anytime I got to use them, for example- in school or other places , I was always delighted. Then, around 2012 we released […]
You can take any of our local phone numbers and forward the calls to any regular phone number in the world. Some forward their FlyNumbers to a local number, for example – a Canada FlyNumber forwarded to a Canada mobile. Others go international – a UK FlyNumber forwarded to the US. (everyone has their reasons) […]
