Why is it that individuals are more inclined to do something they’re told not to do, as opposed to not doing something they’re supposed to? For example, how many reader read the title and thought “I’m going to call that number”? If the title was “Do call…”, would you be more likely to try?

This is just a simple experiment: Post a phone number on the web, and allow people to leave voice messages, which in turn can be downloaded off the website. Who will call,why will they call and what will they say? For anyone hesitant on calling, your phone number will always remain private.

Go ahead. Call. Leave a message. Leave an interesting message so that anyone who might listen might feel inclined to download said message.
