GTRIBE RELEASES SAMI CONNECT (BETA)
SAMI Connect™ is a sophisticated Internet telecommunications system (developed by Mass Luminosity and powered by Twilio) that offers GTribe members the opportunity to make local and international calls to landlines and mobile phones, right from the GTribe network - either on a web browser or on the GTribe app [gtribe.io/app] while using an Internet-connected device (PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.).
Today, we're inviting 200 LUX members to be the first to test SAMI Connect for 30 days. Each LUX member has received a full 60 minutes of talk-time to make local or international calls at no cost.
Carefully follow these steps to activate SAMI Connect:
(1) Associate a telephone number with SAMI Connect - Go to gamingtribe.com/controlpanel/connect and associate an accessible telephone number with SAMI Connect. Just follow the instructions to verify the number.
(2) Import your contacts using a mobile device - Click the phone icon on the navigation bar of the GTribe mobile app and select contacts and then import them.
(3) Sort your contacts into favorites and add images - Click the star icon to add a contact to your favorite list (will move it to the top of the list) and click the empty profile image to upload a photo of your contact.
(4) Click a telephone number for one of your contacts - Clicking on a telephone number will initiate a WiFi call and the recipient will see the verified number you associated with your SAMI Connect account, unless our AI determines that the call should be re-routed through our servers to access lower costs. The sound quality should be equal to a regular phone call and you can initially call up to 86 countries.
Note: You need Internet access (WiFi or Ethernet) to make calls.
Our goal is to provide our members with the most advanced cost-effective Internet-based telecommunications service in the world.

I've used it this morning to call the wife. Absolutely no issues at all. Was like I was using my normal carrier. Will use again this afternoon once I've finished work. Great work!

Not a big deal since it just required me whitelisting the # and trying verification again (hoping it came from the same #), but I'm probably not the only person who sends all calls not in contact list straight to voicemail. Officially verified! (does this mean I have to use my phone to actually talk to people now? nah!)

I ran through the steps and used it to call my daughter. The call showed up as coming from me (yay). However, when the call first started she said there was a lot of stutter/echo effect. We talked for about two minutes and she said on her end it got better but still just a bit of stutter.

As requested I just ran a test (also PM'd Teodor with slightly more info. But:
1) Call quality was ok, slightly less than Skype or making a regular cell call, but still good
2) My number didn't come through as from my phone but rather a Texas number
All in all great work!
