Sometimes you just don’t want to talk to the person you need to call and a text message would just be too much. So what do you do, call and hope that other party just doesn’t pick up? Well that’s what most people would do but you have another option: slydial.

According to the slydial website, slydial is “a voice messaging service which connects you directly to someone’s mobile voicemail.” The service was previously only available by calling a toll-free number and then typing the other party’s number in, but for most of us we don’t remember the other party’s number, that’s the reason we have contacts saved on our phones. Slydial has recently released a Windows Mobile client that allows you to choose your contact and then “slydial” them.

It’s easy, first, create an account at slydial.com, then install the client on your phone and you are ready to start dialing straight to your friends’ voicemail. Either use the slydial client and choose a contact, or choose your contact, go to the menu, and then choose slydial. slydial will automatically call the contact but you won’t hear a ringing, it will go straight to their voicemail.

slydial is free to use, but there are short ads before it connects your call. If you don’t want to listen to the ads, slydial also offers Premium Memberships starting at $0.15 per message or monthly ($4.95) and yearly ($29.95) tiers.

Here are a few videos to give you some ideas on slydial’s uses.
