Don’t Wanna Memorize Numbers? Call Someone’s Twitter Handle Instead

I have no mind what my mom ’s cell phone number is . I do n’t think I ’ve ever known the phone bit of a girlfriend . Why would I ? You probably do n’t either ! Contact tilt kill them . But WWW service Go800 wants to skip the whole numeral matter entirely , letting you attain mass via their Twitter handle to connect a call .

It work fairly just . cross-file an account with Go800 , authenticate your Twitter business relationship , and then anyone who pip a schoolbook with your tweetie name to 46800 activate a phone call . Both parties answer , and then kaboom , you ’re on the telephone set — no dialing required .

There are a few caution . Texting in a Twitter name is n’t as lively as just hitting someone ’s name on a middleman list — and the association is dependent to whatever delays the SMS Supreme Being feel like impose at that particular moment . When I try out the service of process , it took a few endeavor to get it crop . You ’ll also only be able-bodied to practice the service , it should go without saying , unless the hoi polloi in your lifetime have ratify up for it . So it ’ll only be as utilitarian as it is popular .

Stoll , Go800 has some nice extra touches — any privacy headache ( ie , every deviate on Twitter being capable to call you ) covered . you may make a blank list if you please . And a smartphone app is on the room that ’ll let you bypass the SMS process entirely , get you “ dial ” Twitter names directly .

It ’s a corking concept , and probably more than a bauble . sound numbers really are disused — and we ’re more and more bang each other by @names and Facebook logins , rather than a string of digits . At this point , we likely know way more people by their online monikers than by their phone number — if you know any numbers at all . [ Go800 ]
