Slydial is an app for the iPhone that allows you to make a call directly to the persons voicemail. This app is pretty handy for those times when you just need to leave a message, but unfortunately it has some little quirks that keep it from being perfect.
The Slydial interface is really simple and easy to use. Once you selecte the number from your contacts list or entered one in manually, the call will begin. Slydial appends a series of numbers to the number you’ve entered and calls it. Then you’ll hear an automated voice telling you that you are being connected to the persons voicemail. But the tragedy starts here.
First, the phone you’re calling will ring once and show a missed call. So you’ll catch the attention of most people. The second issue is even after that, there is no surity that it may connect to the voicemail. There have been issues when calling a new T-Mobile line, the app has informed users that it couldn’t connect to the phone numbers voicemail.
So this app did exactly what it said it would. While ringing once and showing a missed called isn’t exactly sly, there probably isn’t any way to get around it. Slydial is a great app and is definitely something worth keeping on your iPhone for those times when you just want to leave a message. Hope they push out an update to solve this issue soon.
