Lasher, Jr.http://www.allappropriatetech.com/content/2009/09/02/not_important.htmlBehold what met me at the mailbox when I got home today. 2 Sep 2009http://www.allappropriatetech.com/content/2009/09/02/not_important.htmlhttp://www.allappropriatetech.com/content/2009/01/06/sly_telemarketing_from_slydial.htmlI’ve told this story in person to a few people today, and every time I have done so, I have had to explain what SlyDial is, so let me start there. SlyDial is a service that is provided by MobileSphere in Boston, and it works like this: First, you call their number. They play an advertisement to you to pay for the service you are about to receive. Next, they prompt you for the phone number of a mobile phone. You punch this in, and they will then take you right to that person’s voicemail box, all without ringing that person’s telephone. It’s a pretty cool service, actually, and a great way to deliver low-priority messages without disturbing the recipient. 6 Jan 2009http://www.allappropriatetech.com/content/2009/01/06/sly_telemarketing_from_slydial.html
