Crediting its growth to high quality voice offerings and continued expansion of the product suite, Sinch recently added Flash Call Verification, a two-factor authentication solution for Android that reduces friction on the user-end.

"We couldn't be happier with our progress to date, and we will continue to launch innovative services for our growing list of global customers." – Andreas Bernstrom, Founder and CEO, Sinch

Flash call works by transmitting a call to a user phone for verification and Sinch intercepts before the phone even rings, maintaining security for a legitimate user base, but making the process easier for users and more cost-effective for businesses.

Sinch has seen success with Flash Call User Verification, recently signing on Truecaller, the app that's transforming the phonebook. Alan Mamedi, CEO and founder of Truecaller, shared: "Sinch has created a service that has been very helpful to our company. It's easy to integrate, easy for our users, and provides great results. We couldn't be happier working with Sinch."

Verification is an important addition to support the company's core focus on mobile apps, but Sinch got its start with voice. When Tango, the popular social messaging app, wanted to provide its members the ability to make crisp HD quality calls to landline and mobile phone numbers anywhere in the world using Tango Out, they turned to Sinch.

"The ability to scale, innovate, and offer our customers ways to feel closely connected to their friends and family members has always been a top priority at Tango. From communication, to social networking and content discovery, we regularly seek to improve and expand upon our product experience. We have always wanted to let our members reach anyone around the world even if it means connecting via a landline. That's what Sinch's App-to-Phone product has allowed us to create. Sinch's product provides this experience at a higher quality and at a lower price than their competitors; the decision to go with them was a no-brainer." – Eric Setton, Co-Founder and CTO, Tango

Powered by Sinch, Tango Out is now live and available to the app's hundreds of millions of users across the world.

Sinch has seen thousands of developer signups since its launch in May 2014 and has connected 4.5 billion calls. The platform now reaches over 500 million users in mobile applications.
