Hey serial daters!

If you think breaking things off by voicemail is a-OK, there's a new mobile service out in the market place that's just for you, according to a new report.

A service called Slydial lets you connect directly with another person's cell phone voicemail by bypassing the traditional ringing process.

You no longer have to wait til he's on the subway or she's on a plane to place the stressful break up call!

Or if you're too chicken to ask someone out on a date, don't speak to them and be guaranteed to get their vm.

Sounds perrrrfect!

Recipients of the Slydial call would get a voicemail notification, and sometimes a 'missed call' notification.

But, there are constraints to this service. It can only be used in the U.S. right now, and generally won't work with prepaid cell phones.

Also, "Sly" dialers must have the caller ID feature activated on their phones to prevent people from using it to harass people undetected.

The founder of Slydial, thinks it can be useful not only in the dating scene, but also in the hectic business world, "Everybody has gone through the scenario where they've called somebody and just hoped they got voicemail so they didn't have to have a conversation."

True, true!

We gotta say that breakup by Slydial is definitely more humane than breakup by text!

      You can already do that. I have verizon and you just check your voicemail and you can chose a person to send a voicemail too.

      just strap on a pair of balls and break up face to face. wtf? doing the right thing can sometimes be hard, but it shows respect for the other person. confrontation is a sign of a strong character.

      Re: missy – I hear you Missy. There is nothing worse than talking on the phone, so this has got to be the best invention ever. I already called and left a message for someone whom I KNEW would keep me on the line for hours if I actually talked to her. THANK GOD FOR THIS! YAY!

      Hell Yeah! Thats awsome! Break up thru text izn't so bad! I like 2 break up w/ people by telling a mutual friend that we're not 2gether anymore and let them spread the rumor. No I'm not childish, I just like 2 be an asshole coward, it tickles me so!

      this service has been available in Australia for about 10 years….you just record the voicemail on your own service and dial the number you want the message sent to. I guess the US is so far behind by not adopting the sim card service in the early days.

      Can also be done in Ireland by dialing 5 after the 087/086/085 start of any mobile number.

      Re: buffy – Breaking up by text or voicemail is for LOSERS, PUSSIES AND ASSHOLES. It's one thing to want to relay something quick and easy without getting stuck on the phone and another thing entirely to be a total DOUCHE.

    25. chica says – reply to this


      25

      Re: derr –
      No, we can do it in the U.S. too already. Just call up your voicemail service and choose to leave a message in someone else's voicemail box. I'll admit, um, I've done it before…

    26. Janel says – reply to this


      26

      You can also bypass the ringing and head sraight to voicemail by calling the person from 2 phones at one exact same time. =)

      I also think its immature to break up via phone anyways. (Unless its a long distance relationship)

    27. Saoir says – reply to this


      27

      In Ireland if you just press #5 between the prefix and the number it brings you directly to that persons voicemail and it doesn't ring - its always been like that. I'm sure theres a way to do this for free everywhere, this sounds like a total rip off!

      You can't text message break up = betch!!!

      What a horrendous trend. People need to suck it up and at least show the person they're dumping some respect by actually talking to them. You owe them that much!

      You can do this with sprint phones. The other person has to have a sprint phone though. Dial 1 1 area code and phone number. Its awesome.

      Another call rude feature for people who have overestimated their importance.

      As for Perez having HIV?…..he didn't get it from having sex and I don't think he does IV drugs….and he is too old to have it transmitted in utero……so how ?

      ok that sounds great but… I wouldn't listen to that vm because of that crappy movie about someone getting a call that went straight to vm and then they die.. remember that one. Lame. Plus, some people never check their vm. Like me…

    44. Sarah says – reply to this


      44

      I know that on Verizon you can already do this by sending a voicemail from you our voicemail box. Just acess your mailbox and hit 2 to send a message. Type in the number it's going to, record your message (break up, rant, or drunken proclamation of love) and send. You can also send it high priority or even request a reciept so you know when the other person listens to it! This Slydial is old newsssss…

      Great - just great. We already have telephone spammers leaving their crap ads via voicemail - now we're giving people another way to be losers by not having the balls to step up to the plate when necessary. Grow a set, ffs.

      You can do this with most, if not all, of the major cell carries in the U.S. I believe just to other people on the same netwok though. One just has to dial their own personal voicemail and choose the option to 'send someone a message'. I've been doing it for years.

      YOU CAN DO THIS FROM ANY PHONE AT ALL. ALL YOU DO IS NEED TWO PHONES (SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR HOUSE PHONE AND CELL PHONE)..DIAL THE NUMBER YOU WANT TO CALL FROM BOTH PHONES AT THE SAME TIME…AND ONE WILL RING, THE OTHER ONE WILL GO STRAIGHT TO VOICEMAIL.

      A total douche bag thing to do Mayer should endorse this service. Do some big ads and shit with his picture on bill boards, since he is the king of douche bags.

      Yeah we all know John got a big old ugly gay tat all over his stupid arm. Some how this service does remind me of Mayer.

      This feature has been available where I live (Canada) for over 10 years! Anyone can just dial a number and then you are prompted for the person's phone number….must be a slow news day.

    62. oli says – reply to this


      62

      I think anyone who uses this service are fucking pussies and need to grow the fuck up. Break up with a person the right way. I think even if you break up with the person over text thats a little better. But it's still being a big fat panocha.

    63. rosa says – reply to this


      63

      by voicemail or text are both dick moves.

      i just got broken up with on a text today and slydial wouldnt be much better.

      72

      I've been able to do this with verizon for some time now… so far behind.

    73. KnOwI says – reply to this


      73

      The things they try and make money on. You can already do this with almost every service. It's referred to as "sending a message". All one needs to do is go into voicemail and chose send a message instead of listening to messages. It would be better to try it for the first time if you don't have new voicemails since the server normally defaults to unheard messages. I know for verizon you just press "2" to send a message instead of "1" to listen to messages.

      Also I'm going to be starting up a new web-based business called Know it All. You email any fact-based questions to an email address and someone will get back to you with the answer within a half hour…. any feedback?

      you've always been able to leave someone a voicemail without calling them. if you call into your own voicemail box there is an option to "send a message" you then type in their phone number and are directly connected to the voicemail. its great!

      slydial is awesome–it's been around for at least a few months and is super stealth.

      This feature's been around a few years now in Belgium and probably all over Europe. It's called 'Direct Deposit' by the Proximus operator. And they call us the 'old' country? *eyes rolling* heehee :-)

    83. DG says – reply to this


      83

      I work on the same floor as the company that created Slydial. They definitely didn't pay anything to get Perez to post this. They are really excited about the coverage it's been getting (the view, usa today, cnn.com) and I was one of the people they asked to experiment with it. It's always worked for me. I'll let them know about your comments though and hopefully the kinks get worked out asap. As a friend of the company, thanks for all the feedback!!

    84. DG says – reply to this


      84

      This isn't the only way they're marketing this. yea, breaking up on a voicemail is retarded, but for other reasons sometimes you really hope just to get a person's voicemail. Haven't you ever called a friend of yours about something and when they answer been like "oh I didn't think you'd answer I know you're busy I was just gonna leave you a voicemail." or something. Right? No big deal. You can use it without breaking up with a voicemail.
