Patch: What attracted you to the line of work you?re in, and how did you get started?

Liu: I?ve been working in the industry of internet and communication technology for more than 15 years after studying computer science and technology at the university. I?ve always been passionate about internet technology and mobile applications.

In the digital era, telecommunication technologies are like canals through which information passes. As an online phone service, Dingtone?s unlimited calls and texts are serving as safe, convenient, and affordable cargo ships, connecting people with chances, services, and emotions, helping people understand each other, arrange their daily life, and set sail to explore the world. The work is appealing to me because I realize it?s a good fit for me to combine my passion and ability while doing good for more people.


Patch: If you had to sum up your business mission to a stranger in five words, what would those words be?

Liu: Affordable phone services for everyone.


Patch: What?s the biggest challenge or most difficult moment you?ve faced with?

Liu: I think the biggest challenge we face right now is raising awareness of our presence. Many people are still paying expensive monthly phone bills without knowing that there?s a revolutionary wireless solution on the market, potentially saving them hundreds monthly and serving as a solid solution for privacy protection as a supplement to their personal numbers.


Patch: What?s the most satisfying part of your job?

Liu: There are so many sparkling moments when we receive favorable feedback from our users, many of whom have been with Dingtone for many years. I?m proud and grateful to hear how Dingtone helps them save money on phone bills, stay connected with loved ones, get a job, or start a small business.

Also inspired by users? comments and demand, we launched a mobile-based fax app amidst COVID-19 coronavirus to help users fax files online to social services, businesses, and the government. We are more than happy to always be supportive of users in our endeavors.


Patch: How would you say your business distinguishes itself from the others?

Liu: Dingtone offers the integration of essential wireless gigs while keeping a minimalist style in features and interface design.

Unlike many other instant messaging apps, Dingtone allows users to make calls or send messages to non-Dingtone users around the world.

Users can call any mobile or landline without charge, with international calls and texts to over 200 countries also available at competitively low rates. Additionally, Dingtone provides a solution with the ability to get international phone numbers instantly. The phone number service provides users a real phone number with a local area code, and even allows for a second, connected number for easy switching between personal and business lines.


Patch: What?s the best piece of advice you?ve ever been given when it comes to success?

Liu: Look for the fields you are spontaneously impassioned by, and then let the passion lead you to the best performance and success.


Patch: Are there any new projects or endeavors you?re working on that you?re extra excited about? If so, what details can you share and what makes it so exciting?

Liu: Dingtone is currently undertaking an expansion of our market and service region, involving the marketing campaign and refined operations in several fast-growing markets. We are planning to officially enter more growth markets as Dingtone?s reliable and affordable phone service has already been recognized as a solution to cut down phone bills, promote the international trade and bring closer connections for immigrants and their family members in many countries.


Patch: Do you have any events coming up?

Liu: Yes, Dingtone recently rolled out a sponsorship program for displaced Ukrainian refugees. Dingtone will provide key communication services for refugees to aid with staying connected and resettlement.

Registered refugees will receive extra app credits for international phone calls, easily get phone numbers with nearby area codes, and get helpful tips for finding work, connecting with local services, and fitting into local communities.
