The purpose of this post is to receive suggestions / feedback on the newly developed plugin ( as a replacement to Captcha & SMS OTP )
See it live at https://sample.code.dial2verify.in/plugins/Plug-N-Play/
Why Needed:
Over Past few years everyone witnessed Captcha as a most effective way to control spam and SMS OTP ( One Time Password ) as one of the most popular way to Authorize user identity.
But from Business’s perspective, SMS OTP implementation is quite an expensive solution, Businesses are spending almost between 10-20 paisa per sms. ( An average eCommerce company spends almost between 10-20K per month on SMS based user verification ) so we thought of developing some value added alternative to SMS OTP and there arised idea of using Missed Call As An Alternative to Captcha & OTP.
The next thought was, why not readily avail them plug-in, which could not just act as an alternative to OTP & Captcha but would be Easily integrated into any website. ( irrespective of particular web programming language ) and so we have built a working prototype to serve the purpose.
How It Works:
It is merely a single line of code which webmasters need add to their site, to get Dial2verify Plug-in running.
- Once user signs up / submits the form on your website, a modal window opens up displaying a random number image.
- User needs to give a missed call to the image displayed ( this acts As an alternative to Captcha )
- Dial2verify server then validates the missed call and automatically submits the form on your website. ( Acts as a replacement to SMS OTP, where user’s mobile number is verified based on a random code sent to user’s device )
- That’s it.

- It eliminates the chances / risks of delayed SMS delivery
- No impact on existing code ( It is just one line of code which you need to append before </body> tag)

UPDATE: SEPT. 20, 2013
Further to above idea…..
Hello,
We have built an interface to explain, how a simple missed call can be used as a replacement to traditional username / password based login systems.
Live demo:
https://dev.dial2verify.in/MissedCallLogin/1/login.php
Above demo, is a customized version of https://php-login-script.com/ ( php login script )
With just 2-3 Kb of code changes, we have transformed it into missed call based login system.
*** Although we have used India Landline numbers for demo, but Considering risk of caller id spoofing, we recommend using 1800XX tollfree numbers for prod implementations.
