Sometimes, when you call a person, you really don't want to talk to them but would rather leave a message, right? Anyone with me? :) Well, let me introduce you to a service that will do just that. Appropriately named, SlyDial will slide right on pass the ringing and go straight to voicemail. Perfect!SlyDial, is a new service that lets you send people voicemail messages without actually having to call them. Yes, such a feature exists if someone leaves you a voicemail (giving you the option to leave a voice mail reply), but SlyDial lets you skip that first step by simply sending them the message as you would an SMS message.
Maybe the best part is that it works on all the carriers. In my testing, I got it to work with AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. I don't have any T-Mobile friends, so I couldn't try that service out, but I am sure it works flawlessly. Since it is a free service, of course there are ads, but they are not too overwhelming like some of these free services I have tried.
There's also no sign-up required, you simply have to call 267-SLY-DIAL (759-3425) and have the number of the person you're calling. Try it out! Its kind of fun to simply leave voicemails, leaving my friends to wonder why their phone didn't ring.

Not sure I would need this, but it seems like an interesting idea. I am the type of person that if I call you, I want to speak directly with you, not some voicemail. I guess I better give it a try before knocking it eh?
