Did you ever want to return a phone call, but did not want to actually talk to the person? Perhaps you are short on time, or its an awkward conversation to have and a text just won’t do.

It used to be easy to do this before cell phones. You could call the company before or after hours and leave a voice mail. But in this world of 24/7, the cell phone is typically always on.

Well, never fear, innovative entrepreneurs have the answer: Slydial– it connects you right to the person’s voice mail. How it works:

  1. Dial 267-SLYDIAL (267-759-3425)
  2. Enter the U.S. mobile phone number of the person you want to call.
  3. You will be directly connected to their voicemail. The basic service is ad supported.

And yes, there is an iPhone app for that.
