Let your cellphone provide an easy escape

Posted in Cool by Dan at 11:10 am

There have been many times that I was forced to go to SOMETHING that I really didn’t want to have any part of. Family gatherings, lame parties, the list goes on. At these excruciatingly painful meet-ups, as I look for the nearest escape path I’m praying that my cellphone would ring to give me an excuse to skip out. Where are the telemarketers when you really need them? Popularity Dialer to the rescue!

Basically Popularity Dialer schedules a call to your cell phone at a set time to give the opportunity to escape from any situation. But Popularity Dialer just simply doesn’t call you, they also have hysterical prerecorded one-sided conversations that are timed perfectly to make it seem as if you are having a real conversation.

Hmmmmm, next UNEASY board meeting, I have a feeling I’ll be getting an important phone call.

    These guys seem to have taken this concept a bit further with alibi, image dialers (their version of the popularity dialer), reminders and wake up calls. They allow you to spoof the caller ID that calls you so that you can facilitate an alibi call. Plus you can schedule a call in realtime remotely via a 800 number. pretty cool
