Lauren Leto
@the_real_jw yeah, his name is pat and he's an odd looking elephant but we love him anyways
jeff!
@laurenleto ok, that makes way more sense that a guy

@adamdepasqua We like you!
Sammy Schuckert
Awesome! Excited to try this. Will it be available from Europe? :)
Lauren Leto
@sammyschuckert I hope we can get there within year or sooner–I don't have as much knowledge around Eur telecom as I do US but if you guys want it, we'll get there.
Sammy Schuckert
@laurenleto Looking forward!

No Android version makes me a sad panda.

Only for the US? Would whoever hunts apps please try and state this it'd save us some time . Thanks
Cam Hunt
@lbrkr Yes, it's US-only at this time, sorry!
lbrkr
@camh Thats ok. I just wish it was flagged up before I downloaded that app. I presume it's a nightmare not worth entering to make it available to the UK?
Greg Hodson
@lbrkr @camh definitely want to know the answer to this. Do we have a UK equivalent? I need this sort of service in my life.
David Lumm
@lbrkr @camh If they're using Twilio as the back-end is should be very easy to transfer it to anywhere that Twilio works, including the UK.

I think this is legit awesome! Love the concept and love the design. I believe I'll be using this right away! Really shocked it's not upvoted more today. Just Brilliant!

@laurenleto cool app. deleting or editing messages similar to slack on the roadmap at some point?
Lauren Leto
@warrenalfred Definitely–the next few updates will focus more on Listen-to-Listen features such as that. For version 1, we wanted to focus only on features that worked for Listeners users talking to people who weren't Listen users (since we knew that'd be main scenario at launch)

Very glad to see a team taking on G Voice with a passionate interest on redefining the phone number experience. More innovation in this space is a great thing!
Lauren Leto
@crrob Thanks, Roberto!

Looks great! I've been using Google Voice since day 1 and it still works like it did back then, seems like Google forgot the thing even exists! My number: 858-346-5195

As a journalist this is FANTASTIC. I have a Google Voice but it's clunky and the crossover with Hangouts gets weird after a while. Some people don't even trust my GV number. Now I've got a real number I can give out to contacts/sources that doesn't confuse with personal calls. Super cool!
Lauren Leto
@plusjames Thanks!
