Could you build this?

Partial The browser calling UI, per-minute rate display and top-up billing are vibe-codeable through WebRTC SDKs and existing VoIP APIs. Reliable calling to 200+ countries depends on wholesale carrier termination contracts and telecom regulatory compliance.

What it would actually take: A real version would use a browser softphone (Twilio Voice SDK or a SIP.js/WebRTC client) connected to a CPaaS or SIP trunk provider, with a rate table pulled from wholesale carrier rate decks and a prepaid billing ledger. The hard parts are securing competitive termination rates for hundreds of destinations, handling fraud and number-routing quality, and complying with telecom licensing and regulations in each jurisdiction. Those require telecom-industry expertise and carrier relationships.
