Thoughts:

The sales pitch is too long IMO. If you end up keeping something like it post-demo you should test alternatives.

The voice talkent is good. A bit too slow for my tastes but you need to do research here to see what people can handle for speed. Maybe faster with an easy "repeat" function. It always frustrates me when I miss something on a recording and can't replay it.

The synthesized voice is really bad. Recording a real voice for every five minute interval (or heck, everything) is not that bad.

I realize the recipient of the call is not your customer, but the faster you can get off the phone the happier they'll be and the cheaper it is for you. If I'm a business owner I'm thinking that people are going to hang up on this. Even though the actual reminder is short you're reminding people of a long call.

Minor "ad copy" bit: I think the people you areselling to are more likely to recognize something like "text message to your mobile phone" than "SMS".

You need some sort of easier way for this to spread. Perhaps that will naturally happen as customers hear about the product.
