Does this utilise Twilio? Would love to see a pricing structure and what countries it's available in before registering. Is it tied to a single phone or can you set different numbers on a per meeting basis?

In their end-of Weekend pitch, they said that they were Twilio-based (in the interests of getting this done over the weekend). Over the longer term, they plan to move to Asterisk/trunks if/when call volumes picked up (since Twilio pricing is not very aggressive for long multi-way calls : but the service/pricing is excellent for knocking something together).
Why would it matter if it used twilio? You could do this idea just quickly without it...

Availability and pricing of things like Twilio is pretty variable outside of the US. Last I checked Twilio wasn't going to work for most SMS down here in NZ for example. Not sure about voice.
Exactly right. We're based out of Australia so it's horribly annoying to see so many cool startups that don't provide service to us down here. The majority of voice/sms startups these days use either Twilio or Tropo (including us) so that severely limits the cost or even use of a service for Australians.
