Slydial logoThere’s just something more comforting in knowing that you can leave your heart of the proverbial floor of a voicemail without having to deal with the backlash or embarrassing questions from a real, live person. Having your thoughts go directly to a person’s voicemail is akin to leaving a sticky-note on the fridge door, demanding that your roommate wash the dishes.

So, to help all you passive aggressive types that just can’t stand a face-to-face confrontation, Slydial is offering a new service that lets you side-step the traditional voice-call and go directly to a person’s voicemail. Slydial will have you dial their phone number ((267)-SLY-DIAL), enter in the target phone number, and give the person (or, their voicemail, really) a piece of your mind. In exchange to the convenience of shirking your age-appropriate moral-obligation to have a grown-up conversation, Slydial will ask that you listen to an advertisement, pay $0.15 per call, or sign up for their service.

In the end, we’re all just kids running from our fears. So, if you’re the type to give in and take the “sly” way out, Slydial will be waiting to help you out.
