Have you ever wanted to get ahold of someone, but you didn’t want to talk to them directly? You may not have time for a whole conversation, but you need to leave them a voicemail. What do you do then? This are the times you need to go to Slydial.
While the word ’sly’ can draw up connotations of being wily, crafty or mischievous (e.g. ’sly like a fox’), it can also mean clever, resourceful and efficient. We created slydial for people who appreciate clever, resourceful and efficient methods of communication, whether they exist in everyday tasks, business interactions, matters of the heart or … clandescent operations.
Anyone who is short on time, wants to avoid an awkward conversation, or doesn’t want to bother someone, but needs to leave them a voicemail. No matter where you are in the walk of life, be it a college coed, a working stiff, a soccer mom, or an empty nester, we guarantee you that there will be situations in your life everyday where slydial will be helpful to you.
Don’t worry, 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. In any scenario, rest-assured that the person you are slydialing can not “answer” your call.
All you have to do is dial the Slydial service first, and then the US mobile number you need to reach. You will be immediately connected to their voicemail. That’s really all there is to it. How easy is that? We all know someone who drives us insane on the phone! Why not Slydial them next time?

You can also do it the old fashioned way and call your own voicemail on your celphone and when the prompt asks you if you want to leave one for another number, leave it that way.
I know that works for Verizon Wireless but I am not sure about any other carriers.
Great tip, thanks! 8^)
