#12If you won't do anything with the telephone numbers you collect, you might want to mention it on your page. Otherwise, well no thanks for selling or using them later for something else without explicit consent. By the way, it seems you have an uncaught exception here when giving a number which isn't a cell phone: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Services_Twilio_RestException' with message 'To number: +33123456789, is…
I've added in a footer comment re storing numbers - good call. Not storing numbers, mostly because I have morals.
Cheers for pointing out the uncaught exception. You deserve a hug.

#14Yeah no sorry, I'm not going to post my (or a friend's) mobile phone number on the Internet, thanks. Why not use emails instead? Phone numbers on the net make me feel weird, I don't like it.

#15I'm aware I'm going to come off sounding like the grinch, or an old man moaning "In My Day...", but:
Has it really got to the point where, if we want to cheer someone up, instead of sending them a cheering text ourselves, we outsource it to an online service?

I think it's sad because sometimes all people need is a friend with some time to listen to them. Outsourcing doesn't give that sort of warmth and closeness. It just says "I'm too busy to cheer you up so I'll get someone else to do it". No offence but I feel the same way about gift cards - if you genuinely know the person and you care about the person, you would have some idea on what to get them. I feel like relationships can be more meaningful if we put more effort into it.

Found this upthread, perhaps it's more to your liking: http://foaas.com
See, it's quite useful: http://foaas.com/off/nlintz/Cederfjard
Please don't be so rude, it's uncalled for I think.

Oh, totally. Nothing can replace being truly there for someone, and I'd never try.
All I wanted NowCheerUp.Me to do was make a few people smile. No friend worth their salt would outsource their compliment-giving but as a casual way of lighting up someone's face, this works!

No time for death. Too busy smiling.

#20I assume most people would first enter their own number to see what this really does. Then they enter all their friends' numbers. Another way to collect address books.
