Can't tell whether this is snark, but I will respond as though it's not.
Obtaining phone numbers in every country is a bit of a tricky legal process. If we waited until we had all of Europe lined up it would take quite awhile and that wouldn't be very "lean" of us. What if it turns out nobody wants to buy numbers in Croatia but we spent a bunch of time trying to get numbers there?
In the end we will roll out incrementally as we bring on new carriers and forge new relationships in other countries in Europe.
- ulope 15y agoSadly Germany is missing from the EU beta signup page (http://www.twilio.com/eu-beta-signup http://www.twilio.com/eu-beta-signup). Do you have any timeframe when this will change?

As a resident of one European country, Italy, not particularly known for its ease of doing business, dealing with what can be a fairly bureaucratic industry in the whole lot of them is Not My Idea of Fun. Launching in several and then continuing the roll out is completely sensible. If I recall correctly, even the original iPhone was rolled out country by country, or at least groups at a time, and Apple certainly has a lot more resources than a startup.
