- brandon 16y agoYep, 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.

- whimsy 16y agoPerhaps this is one of those "secret recruitment processes."
- rwalker 16y agoPhone call no longer required. For what it's worth - it's just a Twilio app - we thought it would add to the fun.
- seanstickle 16y agoI'm curious to know why calling a phone number was a deal-breaker. It seemed eminently likely (to me) that it would be an automated system, but, even if it wasn't, talking to someone isn't that big a deal to me. I certainly wasn't concerned about long-distance charges, but I suppose that might be a problem for some. I thought it was a nice little twist in the problem set.
- petercooper 16y agobut, even if it wasn't, talking to someone isn't that big a deal to me. A lot of people struggle with the phone. I certainly have, though I'm getting better at it. I've noticed many people become spookily compliant on the phone, endlessly listening to and being polite to even the most annoying callers instead of just hanging up.
- kbob 16y agoI'm hearing-impaired.
- Deestan 16y agoI live in Norway, so the phone bill is a significant factor. Also, the wife and kids are sleeping in the next room, which would require me to step outside on the porch in the middle of the night with my cellphone. Yet also, I'm so tired I couldn't have englished very well in my phone anyway. :-)
- jlees 16y agoMaybe you don't want them knowing your phone number to call you back with job calls or whatever. (Of course, there are ways around that too.)
