You Can Go Straight to Voicemail

One result of having an Internet business is that you end up dealing with people all over the world. And that means trying to remember what time zone they're in... or risk waking them up in the middle of their night when you call during your regular work hours. Now there's a way to bypass ringing their phone. Slydial allows you to go straight to someone's voicemail. This is also helpful if you need to leave a message for someone who, for one reason or another, can't receive calls at that time.

The service is free... if, that is, you don't mind listening to a short recorded advertisement first. If you'd rather not, it's 15 cents per call. (Or you can subscribe to the service.) Simply dial 267-Slydial, and you will be prompted to enter the number you're calling.

This feature is available for some cellphone users, but only within their own network.
