We're looking forward to your feedback and questions. We've worked hard on this product, taking everything we've learned from our 70,000,000 textPlus downloads. We have a huge ambition for our company, building the world's first all-software mobile telco - the cloud carrier.

The description feels overstated. I'm not sure how you get "wifi-first telecom" where most people would say "messaging app."

@nickoneill Nick - Our big differentiator is that we give every user a phone number. This allows our customers to be able to send actual SMS and make and receive calls to any phone number in the world. Because of this functionality, the majority of our company's users over time do not have a cell phone carrier plan. They use us as their primary provider or for things like turning a Kindle fire, iPod, iPad or tablet into a phone. We also have a pretty big base of business users who use us for low-cost international calling. We do have all the messaging app functionality as well, including app to app calling and messaging.

@dalai That sounds great, it would be beneficial to note those features on your site so people don't write it off immediately, like myself.

I feel like the fact you get your own phone number is more important than "awesome stickers and gifs".

Nice, but the stickers/gifs thing sounds irrelevant. The value here is obviously a software/app-based phone carrier.
Anna Roubos
@levelsio totally agree, but you should also check out the stickers :) they're hilarious
