Yep, decided not to continue when I got to that point.

It looks like the number is a landline in the Bay Area. I wonder if some poor soul at Greplin will be taking calls all day.

Phone call no longer required.

For what it's worth - it's just a Twilio app - we thought it would add to the fun.

Um, no answer on the phone. I let it ring for over a minute.
