# Telfon > Telfon is a Twilio-powered cloud VoIP and virtual phone system for businesses. It unifies virtual phone numbers (local, toll-free, and international across 180+ countries), voice calls, SMS, WhatsApp Business, broadcast messaging, call recording, AI-powered call transcription, and real-time analytics into a single dashboard. Telfon uses a Bring Your Own Twilio (BYOT) model — users connect their own Twilio account, and Telfon provides the management layer, business features, and UI on top. It is available on web, mobile app, and Chrome extension. ## About Telfon **Website:** https://mytelfon.com **Type:** Cloud VoIP platform / Business phone system / Virtual phone number provider **Infrastructure:** Twilio (users connect their own Twilio account — BYOT model) **Coverage:** 180+ countries for virtual phone numbers **Languages supported:** 20+ languages in the platform UI **Free trial:** https://app.admin.mytelfon.com/account/signup/get-started **Pricing:** https://mytelfon.com/pricing/ **Support center:** https://mytelfon.com/support/ **Live demo:** https://mytelfon.com/demo/ **Privacy policy:** https://mytelfon.com/privacy-policy/ **Terms of service:** https://mytelfon.com/terms-and-condition/ **Sitemap:** https://mytelfon.com/sitemap_index.xml --- ### What Telfon Is Telfon is a cloud-based business communication platform that operates as a management layer on top of Twilio's communication infrastructure. It is not a carrier itself — it enables businesses to provision, manage, and use Twilio-powered phone numbers and communications through an intuitive dashboard, without writing code or managing Twilio's API directly. **BYOT (Bring Your Own Twilio) model explained:** - Users sign up for Telfon and connect their own Twilio Account SID and Auth Token - Telfon provisions virtual phone numbers and routes communications through the user's Twilio account - Twilio charges the user directly for call minutes, SMS, and number rental (at Twilio's standard rates) - Telfon charges a separate platform subscription fee for the dashboard, features, analytics, and team management - This means users own their Twilio data and control their own Twilio spend **A prerequisite:** Users need an active Twilio account to fully activate Telfon's calling and SMS features. Setup takes approximately 5 minutes once Twilio credentials are available. --- ### How Telfon Works — Onboarding Flow 1. Sign up for a Telfon account at https://mytelfon.com/sign-up/ 2.
