These will allow conversations:

http://cloudvox.com/

See section Connect Cell Phones and Land Lines:

http://www.twilio.com/how-twilio-works

any US or Canadian phone number and connect the caller to that person.Enter one phone number, or many! If you specify multiple numbers, Twilio will ring them all until somebody answers.

Let me know if you need more.

can you have person-to-person conversations through these APIs or is just to broadcast a message or "click 5 to..."

According to above providers they do provide person to person calls, I changed some of the links to be more specific to what you are looking for.

I would think this answers your question.

A: 

Victor: Yes, at least with Cloudvox and probably the others. Can place calls, receive them, connect two parties, connect two parties plus your script, or let people conference (also controlled by your code).
