Awesome - I got a 403 area code, finally! The front page should make it more clear that there is an extended free trial. .

404 would be cool Page not found 5555 ;p

Move to Atlanta.

Please someone build something similar for the UK.

Twilio isn't available in the UK, but using Tropo this could easily be someone's weekend project: http://blog.tropo.com/2010/10/20/free-tropo-development-now-...

This was super easy to configure which is nice. I'm a little uneasy about the 100 minutes per month meaning at minimum 1 minute for every call I receive. Per-second billing would be nice.

My ideal plan would be unlimited calls straight to voicemail. I recognize the transcripts eat up some EC2 time but I have a feeling the total cost would be pretty reasonable.
