Cut down on your talk time

Have you ever wanted to leave a voicemail for someone, rather than interrupting them with a phone call or having a long (or awkward) conversation? Now you can with slydial. To use the service, call 267-SLYDIAL (267-759-3425) and follow the instructions. You’ll enter the person’s cell phone number and be connected directly to their voicemail. You’ll have to listen to a short advertisement while you wait to be connected (to avoid listening to the ads you can register for slydial’s premium service at slydial.com/signup.php for $3 a month). The person’s phone won’t ring, but your voicemail will go through. Kinda neat!
