I love how low you've made the pricing. You must be in the red after paying Twilio 1¢/minute inbound, 2¢/SMS and 2¢/minute outbound. Thanks! iPhone limits the size of voice memos that I can email myself so for long memos I will use Call2Record. Beautiful web design. Nice job.
Just a note: we (Twilio) charge 2 cents per SMS now.
What is the benefit of using this service over jott.com?
Jott has a monthly fee whereas Call2Record is pay as you go.
Jott is probably much more expensive unless you record a lot of audio ($4/month and $12/month compared to $1/hour)
Jott limits you to recording only up to 30 seconds of audio at a time whereas Call2Record will allow you to record for an unlimited amount of time.
Jott seems to have a bunch of other extra services and features that are built around and compliment their product.
I launched an almost identical service, http://savethatcall.com , in January. My prices are extremely low (50 cents + 5 cents per minute), but it's hard to compete with free! Good luck.
How long did it take you to build it? What tech did you use?
Have you made any money off the service?

Same questions as those to @jiffyjeff: Have you made any money off the service? How long did it take you to build it? What tech did you use?
2. I worked on it part-time for 2 weeks. I'd say it was about 4-5 full days to put together but a lot of that time was spent learning new technologies/APIs I hadn't used before.

I built the site in about 80 hours over 3 or 4 weeks. It was a nice distraction from my master's thesis... Which actually got finished about the same time as the site went live. :)
I used Google App Engine and Twilio, but I also built an audio processing module that runs as a daemon on a Dreamhost server. (The latter was a workaround to GAE's limitations on long-running processes and insertions into the app engine datastore)

1. I launched it this morning, so no, I haven't made any money off of it yet. 2. I worked on it part-time for 2 weeks.

I didn't put any time or efforts into polishing or marketing it, so if you (or anyone else) wants to team up, contact me at agranig@fonoso.com. Instead of twilio or something similar, I use my own SIP trunks to carriers, so for inbound calls, no fees are charged. It's easier to offer something for free with this approach :)
