The founder of this site was at startup school. I met him. He was excited about his idea. I lose my phone a lot, so I thought it would be a nice toy.

At risk of starting a lot of crank calling:

That they feel they need a big message at the bottom saying, "We log all calls and IP addresses" says a lot about the service.

Saw them @ startup school as well, and I could see it being useful. I'm not sure what the business model is, I wouldn't have called it "stupid"

I imagine they put the IP warning up in response to the techcrunch press. The real solution would be a message when someone picks up telling them to "Press 1 to stop this service from calling you in the next hour. Press 2 disable it permanently"

Please don't take the direct approach to finding out (seriously, don't), but I wonder what happens if you tell it to dial 911.

And yet once more, a startup as a reimplemented UNIX command.

for I in `seq 0 9`; do echo "ATDT123456789" > /dev/modem; done

Its not your phone number calling, which is an important difference.

I think this tool is a lot more fun for crank calling.
