Slydial is a new service that lets you bypass those pesky “conversations” and call straight to voicemail. Want to thank a distant relative for a recent birthday present, but hardly feel like actually talking to them? Slydial is for you.

The service is free (but ad supported), and no sign-up is required. Just call 267-SLY-DIAL (759-3425) and dial the number you want to call. Everything is in alpha still, but AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon should work without problem.

(Yes, the title of this post is a ska reference. Deal with it.)
