Slydial is a service that I’ve been looking for & wanting for quite awhile now. It’s a FREE voice messaging service that allows you to call someone & go straight to their voicemail without having to talk to them at all. Slydial is one of the most clever yet sneaky services I’ve come across in awhile & it’s definitely something that I can benefit from & can see myself using on a regular basis.
I know I’m a weird case but I don’t like talking on the phone at all, except to a select few & I especially don’t like calling people. Slydial can now change all that though. Of course, Slydial can be used for various other reasons as well such as if you’re short on time, if you just don’t want to bother someone or maybe just want to avoid an awkward conversation.
Apps – slydial via kwout
Slydial really is sly. You don’t have to worry about the person you’re calling picking up because Slydial calls can not be answered.
“In most cases the person you’re slydialing simply receives a new voicemail alert a minute or so after you leave them a message. With some mobile phones, we are able to display a “missed call” from you (after all you did try to call them!). With this feature, the recipient’s phone may emit an abbreviated “half ring” before going directly to voicemail.”
Another sly feature is that any call made via Slydial will how your phone number & info. So, if you call from 860-636-9999, then it will show on the persons’ phone as that along with the date & time you made the call.
Best of all, there is no registration required to use Slydial. All you have to do is dial 267-SLY-DIAL (267-759-3425) from any landline or mobile phone & you’re ready to go. You will then be prompted to enter the U.S. mobile phone number of the person you’d like to leave a message for.
Though registration is not required, it would benefit you to join so that you can have access to the more advanced features of Slydia. You can join MYslydial for FREE of course.
Slydial even has an app for the Blackberry, Windows Mobile & the iPhone. These apps allow you to even more easily call & leave a voicemail for any of your contacts that have a U.S. mobile number, with the touch of a button.
So, I’m dying to know, is Slydial a service that you would/will use or at least try out? Do you think it’s useful or just a cop out? Remember, not everyone likes talking on phones!

looks cool. will try it out.
This is a long distance call? (Important if dialing from land line.)
Thanks, I will have to take a look at the app for my iPhone
I love slydial! Just yesterday had one of my favorite friends call and leave a voicemail for me. I didn’t want to pick up because she tends to be a ‘Chatty Kathy’ and I was very short on time. Most of the time I love talking to her, but when time is short it makes for a tough situation. She asked a question in my voicemail that needed answered right away, but calling without slydial would put me in the awkward situation of telling her to we had to keep it short, which would probably hurt her feelings. Soooo…Slydial to the rescue!!!!!! I called and answered her question, apologized for missing her call and said I would call her later. Voila! Problem solved. Ingenious!
I am not sure, I haven’t tried calling. Seems like it should be free since it is a free service.
