"We’re in the UK and will be rolling out to the rest of Europe in the next couple months.”"
Their move to the UK was very half-assed, still no SMS support for the UK... :( I hope they fix that with this new funding before they expand elsewhere.
Twilio UK SMS is in rolling beta right now. Please feel free to email me at danielle(at)twilio(dot)com and I'll do what I can to get you added, the queue is quite long so if you applied and haven't gotten that might be why. We are definitely aware of the extremely high demand for this service, not just in the UK but across Europe and beyond, and our engineers are working around the clock to get it out the door and in your hands at the level of quality and reliability our customers have come to expect from Twilio.
Cheaper, more reliable (we tried both the above), delivery receipts, works in almost every country. If you just want the USA, Twilio is acceptable - I think Twilio crushes it at things other than their SMS gateway though.
