Cloud-based Telco Disruptor Twilio Adds 5 More Markets Plus Local Numbers In 4 As It Preps A Move Into Asia

Twilio, the startup that lets developers incorporate cloud-based voice and messaging services directly into mobile and web apps via a series of APIs, continues to scale up its business -- crucial to how the company will make money on its low-cost service in the longer term. Today, Twilio added five more countries in beta to its list of supported markets for voice services:?Czech Republic,?Greece,?Israel,?Romania?and?Switzerland?-- with Israel being the company's first move outside of the U.S. and Europe.?And it's continuing to ramp up its offer of more localized services, with regional numbers now available in Belgium, Finland, Sweden and Spain. Counting full and beta services, Twilio's voice services are now available in 19 countries. The expansion, product specialist?Lisa Weitekamp tells me, is a precursor to the next steps Twilio will take into international waters. The next region that it is likely to tackle, she says, is Asia Pacific, covering not just countries like Japan but also Australia and New Zealand. Latin America is also in line, as are more services -- with either faxing or MMS possibly next in line.
