Yes, <a href="http://www.entrepreneur27.org/archive/interview-with-john-pollard-of-jott" rel="nofollow">they apparently do use humans</a>, and <a href="http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/04/twitter_and_jott_vulnerable_to.html" rel="nofollow">the service is vulnerable to mobile phone number spoofing</a>.

Not very secure, especially if one is communicating sensitive information, like business knowledge or a password, etc. In a way, it's no more secure than a plain email, but at least with the email, a technician has to make a conscious effort to get in an read it. With Jott, it's the employee's job to listen to what you say and then transcribe it into a text message.
