The decision in four points
- Remote phones provide access; they do not run the workflow for you.
- NativePort includes operational status and publishing handoff.
- Remote-control reliability and credential handling remain DIY responsibilities.
- The account remains customer-owned in the NativePort model.

What teams usually ask before choosing
Is NativePort just a remote phone rental?
No. Customers do not remotely operate the device. They submit account and content instructions; the US-side operation performs the agreed preparation and publishing tasks.
Can my team still control the account?
Yes. The customer owns the account and its recovery details. Access should be coordinated to avoid conflicting sessions during active operations.
Which option requires less staff time?
NativePort generally requires less publishing and maintenance time because the customer provides the content and instructions rather than operating the remote device.
Which option should you choose?
Choose a remote phone when your team wants to perform every action itself. Choose NativePort when you want the outcome of a documented US publishing operation without managing remote access, device upkeep, or individual posting sessions.
