I chose phone because ultimately I want the service to call you at random times & force you to pitch.

maybe just me, but I wouldn't appreciate getting random calls. I really don't like giving out my phone number and having someone call to do a survey on their service, or asking me if I need anything. If I want to take the time to reuse your service it will be on my own time.

ok I get that, good point. It'd be an opt-in service of course. FYI: while Twilio returns the caller ID, I'm not actually storing that right now, so no worries.
