About
We built the phone system we kept wishing existed
Corinne is made and operated by Reverie Tech, an IT and security company in Fort Worth, Texas. We are not a phone company that added IT. We are the people who have spent years being called when somebody else’s phone system broke.
Why build one at all
Building a phone system is an unreasonable thing to do. There are dozens for sale, and most of them work. We did it because the same three problems kept turning up in systems we were supporting. None of them were things we could fix from the outside.
Encryption was always optional, and usually off. Not because anyone decided against it, but because it was a checkbox on a page nobody had opened. We would find calls crossing an office network in the clear, in a building where we had spent months hardening everything else.
911 was assumed rather than verified. Every system claims to support it. Very few had ever been checked to see what address actually reaches a dispatcher. More than once the honest answer would have been “a building you moved out of”.
Nobody could tell you what happened. When a customer said “we never got that call”, the system usually could not prove otherwise, either way.
Those three are not features you add. They are decisions you make at the start, or you do not get to make at all.
Reverie Tech
An IT and cybersecurity company serving businesses across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. We manage networks, secure them, and answer the phone when they break.
Corinne runs on infrastructure we own and operate. It is not white‑labeled from another provider, and it is not resold. When something goes wrong, the person you reach can change the code.
How we talk about it
Why this site tells you what does not work
You will have noticed the yellow boxes. Most product sites do not have them.
Internally, we hold ourselves to a rule: a claim about the system has to say how we know. Something we measured is labeled as measured, with the date. Something we inferred is labeled as inferred. Something we merely believe is labeled as assumed, which is allowed, as long as it is not disguised as a fact.
That discipline exists because we caught ourselves being wrong. Twice, claims in our own documentation had hardened into things everybody “knew” and were not true, including one about the emergency call path. We now verify those claims automatically against the running system, and a claim that stops being true fails a check rather than quietly surviving.
It seemed dishonest to apply that standard internally and then write marketing copy to a looser one. So the same rule applies here: if we have not proven something, this site says so.
What that means for you
- Features listed as working have been used on real calls, not just built
- Features that are not ready are named, on the pages where you would look for them
- Limitations that only matter occasionally — like a handset taken to a second building — are written down rather than left to be discovered
- If Corinne is the wrong answer for you, we will say so in the first conversation
The most useful thing a supplier can tell you is what their product is bad at. It is also the thing you can never get out of a datasheet.
Where Corinne is in its life
Early, and real. Both halves of that sentence matter.
Corinne carries live calls to and from the public phone network through a commercial carrier, on physical desk phones, encrypted in both directions. Voicemail is deposited, stored encrypted, and transcribed. Emergency routing has been verified on the wire, including with the platform’s database deliberately stopped, to confirm that an outage elsewhere does not take 911 with it.
It is not a prototype and it is not a slide deck. Reverie Tech is moving its own telephone service onto it.
Our first external customers are onboarding now. There is no mobile app, no public integration interface, and browser calling is built but not yet used by a customer. A large ecosystem of third‑party add‑ons does not exist, and will not for some time.
If you need a mature product with a long list of integrations today, Corinne is not it yet. We would rather tell you now.
The name
Connect. Collaborate. Converse.
The mark is an open arc — a C that is listening rather than closed — with the bars of a voice beside it. It seemed a better idea than another handset icon.
Come and ask us difficult questions
We are more comfortable with those than with a demo script. Bring your security person if you have one.
