Get to Voice Mail without Ringing Phone AWESOME!

Now this is exactly the reason I love my phone. When I come across apps like this it just makes my day. The FREE version is awesome IDC about waiting 20 seconds to get to vm without ringing the users phone while listening to an ad I put it on speaker wait to hear the message is done.

This is an application that once installed allows you to pick a user out of your contacts to call and skip straight to their Voice Mail instead of ringing the phoneline to answer. I've tested it allot over the course of the past week and it works just great I love it

You can install the app via a text link or download the cab or you can even just call into the service from any landline or cell and use it as well for free

I remember back in the days on Sprint you could dial +11 before the number to get to vm. I Tried it awhile back and it didn't work anymore. I'm not sure about now. It's 4:30 am here and I don't want to risk calling somebody and the phone rings. LOL.

11 + the number still works to go straight to voicemail I just tried it. That used to be how you could dial out to any number and only get charged mobile to mobile, but it looks like they have closed the loophole. Thankfully there's Google Voice.

I also still use 11+(10digit phone number) to leave my GF messages on v-mail so that I dont disrupt her work environment which goes straight to vmail on sprint to sprint.

I know it will work for some and not for others, for reasons unknown.

i dont think the APP is free. they say use a trial of it then pay. the number you can call is free. the op makes it sound like the app is free. i guess you were fooled.

Well considering I didnt have to pay to install the APP I guess you might want to call it free. Now does it remain free? Can't see how the could make me pay for an app thats installed on my phone but if I wanted to use their PREMIUM service I would have to pay.

The wording on the site seems misleading to me cause it mentions in the description of Basic and Premium the app being part of Premium.

Although I have read each and every single page from top to bottle fine print and not once does it mention any type of TIME LIMIT to the FREE BASIC USE

look at hypnotic's first paragraph in this post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...97&postcount=6
i'm assuming thats a descriptions off the site.

seems to me they make it clear that basic is using their number to call and that premium is reserved for extra features including the use of their apps... plus they say on their site try the app out and then pay for preimium. those points together make me think you will get some sort of prompt to subscribe to premium. maybe there's a timebomb and the app won't work after a week. or, it keeps track of how many times you call out and will stop after a set amount.

let us know if youre able to use it for a while though. i would not pay for something like this... at least not a monthly fee or pay per use type of thing, so it's pointless for me to install it if it's not free... :/
