Very cool thing. I would include a summary on the use case on the questionsthree website or a short paragraph describing what exactly it is. The only reason I had some idea of what it was, is due to the blog post that directed me there.

Just some information (also, pricing) to provide before asking for people to give away their emails.

Cool thing, though!

Whoops. I'll definitely add the pricing to the home page. It's 10$/month or 100$/year.

For the longest time, the homepage was Rails' index.html. It was so hard for me to bang out those few paragraphs.

If the best alternative to using your app is a free Google Voice number in your area code (and not $20/month to Time Warner), I don't think $10/month is something I would pay. I'd either find a way to make the pricing work, or (as suggested above) find a way to sell to apartment complexes at large.

Exactly. SkypeIn with local area code is (if you get it on sale) only $30 a year. That's what I use.

Nice thing about that is I've let the UPS guy in while I was in Rome, and didn't have to pay long distance.
