• WHAT IS SLYDIAL?
    slydial is a free voice messaging service that connects you directly to someone's mobile voice mail. slydial is a service of MobileSphere.
  • WHAT'S IN THE NAME "SLYDIAL"?
    While the word 'sly' can draw up connotations of being wily, crafty or mischievous (e.g. 'sly like a fox'), it can also mean clever, resourceful and efficient. We created slydial for people who appreciate clever, resourceful and efficient methods of communication, whether they exist in everyday tasks, business interactions, matters of the heart or ... clandestine operations.
  • WHO SHOULD USE SLYDIAL?
    Anyone who is short on time, wants to avoid an awkward conversation, or doesn't want to bother someone, but needs to leave them a voice mail. No matter where you are in the walk of life, be it a college coed, a working stiff, a soccer mom, or an empty nester, we guarantee you that there will be situations in your life everyday where slydial will be helpful to you.
  • DO YOU HAVE SLYDIAL APPS FOR SMARTPHONES?
    Yes. slydial now has apps for iPhone and Android smartphones. The slydial app allows you to quickly connect to the number or contact of your choice without dialing the access number directly. The app also allows you to view your slydial history, account balance and contact the slydial Customer Care team. slydial works from any U.S. mobile phone number, excluding VoIP numbers.
  • HOW DOES SLYDIAL DIFFER FROM OTHER SERVICES?
    Well to the best of our knowledge, there is no other service that does quite what slydial does. While some mobile phone carriers enable their users to reply to or send voice mails within their voice mail system, there are significant limitations. For example, voice mails can only be sent to users with the same carrier (e.g. Verizon) and more specifically only to users within a certain geographic area (e.g. New York metro). slydial connects you directly to the voice mail of any U.S. mobile user, regardless of their carrier or geographic location.
  • WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I PLACE A SLYDIAL CALL? WILL THEIR PHONE RING?
    In most cases the person you're slydialing simply receives a new voice mail alert a minute or so after you leave them a message. With some mobile phones, the recipient's phone may emit an abbreviated "half ring" before going directly to voice mail. On occasion, with some mobile carriers, you may hear a ringing sound/tone while you are waiting to be connected to the recipient's voice mail. This is not the recipient's phone ringing; this is the recipient's mobile carrier playing a ring tone while they attempt to locate the recipient.
  • DO I NEED TO SIGN UP FOR SLYDIAL IN ORDER TO USE IT?
    No. We do not require you to sign up for the service in order to use it. Just dial 267-SLY-DIAL (267-759-3425) and you are ready to go. However, to enjoy advanced features including slydial apps for iPhone and Android smartphones, as well as rapid connection to voice mail with NO advertising, join MYslydial Premium. Learn more.
  • IS SLYDIAL REALLY FREE FOR THE USER?
    Yes, we do not charge you anything to use the service. However, domestic long distance, cellular airtime minutes or additional data charges may apply. (So if you would normally get charged for calling a phone number with a "267" area code then you will get charged making a slydial call.)

  • CAN I USE SLYDIAL FROM A LANDLINE PHONE?
    Yes. slydial works from any phone - landline and mobile. If you are calling from a landline phone, dial the slydial access number 267-SLYDIAL (267-759-3425), follow the prompts, and your call will be connected to the slydial service.
  • CAN I SLYDIAL MULTIPLE PEOPLE AT ONE TIME?
    Yes! For Premium customers with pay per slydial credits, you may send one prerecorded voice mail to up to ten phone numbers. Using the slydial app, you can record an audio file, send a campaign and this service is available only in the slydial app and for customers with pay per slydial credits.
  • CAN I USE SLYDIAL TO CONNECT TO THE VOICEMAIL OF A LANDLINE PHONE NUMBER?
    No. slydial only works to connect to the voice mail of a U.S. mobile phone user.
  • DOES SLYDIAL WORK FROM AND TO ALL MOBILE PROVIDERS?
    slydial works with all major U.S. wireless providers.
  • DOES SLYDIAL WORK TO ALL U.S. MOBILE PHONES?
    No, there are some numbers that simply cannot be 'slydialed'. For example, you cannot slydial someone who has a prepaid mobile phone, does not have a voice mailbox on his/her phone, a full voice mailbox, or a third-party voice mail service (e.g. Google Voice, Youmail). Additionally, Google Voice numbers or other VoIP numbers cannot be slydialed. On some occasions, we temporarily may not be able to complete your call due to things like network congestion, network interoperability or local number portability (LNP).
  • WHAT CALLER ID APPEARS ON THE RECIPIENT’S VOICEMAIL?
    slydial never blocks your caller ID, so your telephone number should always appear on the other person's phone. The number you enter into the slydial app must be the same as your native cellphone number. If you enter a different phone number into the app, this will not change your Caller ID. Additionally, the app will not work if an alternative phone number has been entered. If you have Caller ID blocked on your phone, try dialing *82 before you dial 267-SLYDIAL to unblock Caller ID for a single call.
