Am I wrong in guessing this is a Twilio-powered service?
If so, this is a brilliant pricing model for adding value on top of someone else's API. One-time App store pricing of $1.99 gets $1.39 to use on purchasing a short-duration Twilio line and then in-app purchases can be used to refill extra numbers/minutes, all presumably with enough margin to make money on top of the basic "reserve and use a Twilio number" functionality.
Just checked and Twilio phone numbers are $1/mo. and 1-2 cents a minute for calls. There's definitely headroom to make money here.

- antidaily 14y agoI love that those are actual apps. We're running out of names, folks!
- gregcohn 14y agoWe proudly work with Twilio -- though there's a lot of work that's gone into managing the user-facing aspects of the service and the UX.
- RobSpectre 14y agoGrats on the launch Greg!
- colinsidoti 14y agoAre you pushing voice through data or using call forwarding?
- sulife 14y agoThey charge a lot less than that in bulk too.

- dhimes 14y agoWhere did you find the pricing model? I don't see prices anywhere on the page. Do I have to play the video or something? I hate having to search for prices. The act of searching for prices starts a feeling of distrust of the company which builds until I find it.
- gregcohn 14y agoThanks for pointing that out. We will make pricing more clear on our site -- though it's pretty clear in the iTunes store (we think).
