Lasher, Jr.http://www.allappropriatetech.com/content/2009/07/08/oh_this_is_going_to_get_interesting.htmlOver the past week, I’ve been telemarketed to by two different organizations that sound shady as hell. 8 Jul 2009http://www.allappropriatetech.com/content/2009/07/08/oh_this_is_going_to_get_interesting.htmlhttp://www.allappropriatetech.com/content/2009/04/06/fun_with_debt_collectors.htmlMy work-issued blackberry rang last night. When I answered, the lady on the other end asked for Dominick. 6 Apr 2009http://www.allappropriatetech.com/content/2009/04/06/fun_with_debt_collectors.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
