With the growing number of social networking and online chat tools, we're having fewer reasons to talk. But a new phone service helps you get a little bit more personal while slyly avoiding confrontation.
Dialing (267)SLY-DIAL followed by a person's number will take you straight to his voice mail -- none of that phone ringing nonsense. And then you can lay it on him: "This isn't working out," or, "I'm sorry I abandoned you when you were so young."
There's one catch for being a coward, though: You have to listen to a short advertisement before Slydial will connect you to the voicemail -- unless you pay 15 cents to skip it.
Pardon me while I leave a voicemail: I just ran over my sister's Pomeranian in the driveway...
