Трубка — простое приложение для голосовых и видео звонков близким людям. Первый прототип Трубки был создан буквально за две недели после блокировки звонков в WhatsApp и Телеграмм на территории РФ. Никакой лишней сложности: добавляйте контакты, получайте внутренний номер и звоните в два нажатия — даже в сетях, где требуется VPN. Связь только с теми, кого вы добавили в контакты приложения. Работает без VPN и сторонних обходов. Не просим номер телефона. Минимум данных профиля: только имя и аватар. Через Трубку можно совершать как голосовые, так и видео-звонки. Потоки передаются по P2P технологии WebRTC. Все звонки зашифрованы по умолчанию, доступ третьих лиц к звонкам невозможен, даже если очень захотеть -- то все равно невозможен. Как это работает Войдите через Apple или Google. Создайте простой профиль (имя и, при желании, аватар). Пригласите друга в Трубку и поделитесь с ним своим внутренним номером. Все, можно созваниваться. Время разговора неограничено, все что нужно это стабильный интернет, если общаетесь по wi-fi звонки фактически бесплатны, в мобильной сети оператор может тарифицировать интернет-трафик, хоть и расход трафика приложением незначителен, если вы в роуминге лучше использовать wi-fi. Важно Звонки возможны только внутри приложения между добавленными контактами. Звонки на обычные телефонные номера не поддерживаются Требования Интернет-соединение и разрешение на использование микрофона для голосового звонка, доступ к камере для видео-звонка.
