Uh ... call a phone number? No thanks.

For what it's worth - it's just a Twilio app - we thought it would add to the fun.
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.
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.
Yet also, I'm so tired I couldn't have englished very well in my phone anyway. :-)
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.
