vps9ryan Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hello, I would like to share a module that we have developed in house, but has the ability to be used by many providers to help weed out fraudsters and verify your client base. We needed a module to help verify phone numbers after maxmind decided to stop this service and the other service providers requiring a minimum of $100 per month just to verify phone numbers. This was just not possible for a small/budget hosting company. There were a lot of solutions out there, that were literally stuck with tape. Any WHMCS update to the template files, would mean your whole solution would stop working or even to the point where everything is lost. Hence, there are 'zero template changes' required in the module - not a single file is dependent on the templates you use. The module it self costs a mere $10 as a one time fee, and you get unlimited support and free upgrades and updates forever. Read More | Order Features Admin Side View current unverified accounts View current verified accounts Search for accounts in the system Verify accounts manually from admin panel Unverify accounts manually from admin panel Reset amount of verification attempts Customize the SMS greeting/beginning message Customize the SMS thankyou/ending message & more! Client Side Simple self service verification process Two verification attempts per customer Ability to self place the verification code Proper error messages that guide and not mislead FAQ Q: Will this module require old/current clients to verify their accounts? A: No! This is the beauty of the module. It will not trouble your old/current clients! Only clients' who are new and place new orders will be verified. Q: What if a potential customer signs up, but does not order a product or a service? A: The system is smart, and will try to save you some money. It will send out a verification SMS, and guides the customer through the verification process only if they add a product and checkout! Q: Is this module really purchasable for a one time fee? No recurring or hidden prices? A: This is absolutely correct! A one time payment grants you a license key, which you can use on your WHMCS when you install the module - the one time payment also includes unlimited free updates and support! No hidden or recurring fees. Q: Why Twilio as the SMS Gateway? A: There is cheap price, or guaranteed delivery - but never both. After a lot of study and research, we found that Twilio offers competitive SMS rates and a delivery guarantee system! Q: Will fraudsters be able to manipulate the system? A: There is a maximum of 2 verification attempts per phone number, if the customer goes through two SMS deliveries, and still not verified his/her account - the system will lock the automatic verification process and ask him/her to open a ticket on your system. Also, previous numbers (duplicates) are not allowed to verify their accounts.

easyhosting Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) to use this module you have to sign up to Twilio (fine) and they give your a free incoming phone number, but for this module you have to upgrade to a Twilio pro account and top up a min. $20 (fine) but once you make the payment and no time before this are you told this Free incoming telephone number will now be charged at $1 a month. Also no where does the OP state you have to top up anything before you could set up their module Edited February 23, 2015 by easyhosting typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also no where does the OP state you have to top up anything before you could set up their module Good news, with v3.0 that was just released, we added Nexmo - which does not require a $1/monthly charge for an outgoing phone number, and just charges a flat rate of 0.1 Eur per verified client. It automatically chooses SMS or Phone Call verification based on the number - and a great plus is that it doesnt charge you for unverified requests. Only clients who fully verify their number within your system are charged the flat fee. Nexmo requires only a $10 top up fee (minimum). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bks Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Would we be able to trigger the Phone Verification for just ONE of our services or service types. I only want to validate outbound SMTP, the rest we don’t get fraudulent orders for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyhosting Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 it seems ever since MyRSK changed names to layer.ae that have forgotten how to reply to tickets as i have been ignored since 23/01/2017 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only clients who fully verify their number within your system are charged the flat fee. Nexmo requires only a $10 top up fee (minimum). But what you dont tell users is that Nexmo uses the Business name you have set in WHMCS as the brand, which if your business name is over 18 characters long then Nexmo API will not work. and with OP IGNORING support tickets from clients i assume they are aware they messed up and are just after peoples money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 A limitation of the Nexmo API is hardly the fault of the module developer. If Nexmo isn't working for you just use another provider, Twilio works great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyhosting Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 A limitation of the Nexmo API is hardly the fault of the module developer. If Nexmo isn't working for you just use another provider, Twilio works great. but if Nexmo have limitations then it is upto the module developer to mention these limitations Yes their is Twilio who charge heavy to use them. It would be nice for the module developer to learn how to answer support tickets as for some reason he does not know how too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Expecting a developer to list every limitation or requirement of a third party is unreasonable, it's up to you to do your own research too. Twilio charge $1 per month for a phone number and $0.0075 per SMS.. if that's really "too heavy" for you then I don't know what to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a developer is saying you need a certain 3rd party account then they should list the main limitations and i dare say the brand limitation is a major limitation as to use Nexmo you cant have a business with a name longer than 18 characters is just daft as why should they tell you how to name your business or brand. It would be nice for the developer to reply to support tickets. his Ignorance speaks volumns 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
