Ever dial someone hoping they don't pick up the phone. That it goes directly to voice mail, and you can avoid whatever uncomfortable conversation you were to endure?

Slydial lets you worm out of the conversations, by making it look like you made an attempt to talk to them. Basically the way it works is you dial (267) SLY-DIAL, then type in the cell phone number you want and they connect you directly to that person's voice mail.

There will be a short ad first but if that really bothers you, just pay 15 cents to skip it.

Either way, the important part is you can go through the whole transaction without having to talk to a single human being.
