How telephony works
Ringee uses telephony providers to make and receive phone calls. A provider is a service that connects your browser to the global phone network (PSTN) using WebRTC technology. When you make a call in Ringee:- Your browser establishes a WebRTC session with the telephony provider
- The Ringee backend uses the provider’s REST API to manage the call (create, transfer, record, etc.)
- The provider bridges the WebRTC connection to the PSTN (public phone network)
