Look, SMS OTP is great, but it shouldn’t be your only form of user verification. Since we think Voice OTP verification is essential to your business, we’re going to break down what it is, how it works, and why it can save you money and win you verified leads when combined with SMS OTP.  

What exactly is Voice OTP Service, and how does it work?

Voice OTP Service plays a set of numbers over a GSM call to verify a transaction or a login session.

Voice OTP Verification happens through a GSM call to the user’s phone number. The user answers the phone to listen to the 6 digits OTP played over the phone call, then enters the OTP in the application interface to verify a transaction or a login.
