My friend asked me what he should use for calling as he wanted to get into scambaiting. I suggested FireRTC, and he told me he can’t sign up now. Then I remembered, I saw that same message 2 years ago when someone on a small Discord server I was on messaged me if there is a way to sign up for FireRTC during the hiatus. So, it seems that for 2 years, they have closed new users from signing up. I went on their Twitter page, and they haven’t posted anything since 2018.
Is it abandoned now, and just left for people who already signed up to use, until it dies?
@atomicdragon136#169956 yup, FireRTC is pretty much dead. The service seems to work for existing users but is bugged from time to time. They have locked signups for 2 years now and the owners and mods completely vanished from their forums as well.
I suggest using BobRTC.tel or TextNow.com instead if you don't have an existing account on FireRTC.
@atomicdragon136#169992 people abused the service. Several threatening calls were made to schools, and so they locked down the platform several years ago.
