How To Skip Unpleasant Phone Calls

I was reading through some posts on Mashable this morning and came across this handy new service you’ve got to know about. It’s called Slydial and it’s free.

It lets you dial a number and go straight to voicemail so you don’t have to actually speak to the person, but you can leave your message. Get it? When you call them, their phone never rings, they can’t answer because they don’t know you’re calling. Boom, like magic, you’re connected to their voicemail.

How many times have I wished for such a service?

I think I’ve died and gone to heaven.

Will I use it to leave an essential communication for my mother? Mother in law? Teenage child? Opposing counsel?

Of course, I’d never use it get straight to a client’s voicemail. Never.

Here’s how it works -

1. Dial 267-SLYDIAL (267-759-3425) from any landline or mobile phone.

2. At the voice prompt, enter the U.S. mobile phone number of the person you want to Slydial.

3. You will be directly connected to their voicemail. Leave them a voicemail, sit back and relax.

Slydial is supported by ads. You can skip the ads by paying $3 per month. They’ve even got Slydial apps for Blackberry and iPhone. Life is good.
