50 Ways To Leave Your ... Number! (Not Really!)

Being hooked on some old tunes lately because a friend on Facebook keeps posting them - I heard this one yesterday! It was a catchy back in the day: "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" by Paul Simon!

But nahhh.. I don't really have 50 ways to leave a number - but I do have a few fun ways to leave your number! Especially for those shy or busy folks who call and want to talk - but are hesitant to leave their number; or really don't want to talk to me right away and don't mind leaving their number!

For fun - here are a few fun things to check out:

If you don't mind me having your number, have simple questions, but don't have time to get into a long conversation - Sly Dial me. My phone won't ring, and you'll be piped right to my voice mail - leave me a message and I'll call ya back with the answers!

If you have an iPHONE or iTOUCH, you can sign up for this service - one time $5.99 (yep - one time - not every month) and send a free text with Pinger. This is a great service for those that do not have a text plan on their phone but from time to time would like to "text".

Sign up for Google Voice and leave your Google number instead of your regular number. This is fun and FREE for anyone with some awesome features anyone can use! (You'll have to sign up for an invite at this time - unless you are a Grand Central user.)

Some fun ways to leave a message. I enjoyed the catchy title and was not aware of Sly Dial.

GOOD MORNING WENDY, LANE, CHRISTINE, ROLAND, VICKIE, BARBARA, KIMBERELY, CHANDA, CARRIE and KATHY, CAROLE, CHRIS, PEGGY, PATRICIA, JIM & REBECCA ! Thank you for stopping by and glad that this post gave you some things you might be able to use down the road. SlyDial is a fun thing to try! Enjoy! -- Gabrielle

GOOD MORNING ANTHONY and WALTER! Have you been humming it since you read the post?! It's still in my head! -- Thanks for stopping by - Gabrielle

GOOD MORNING KATHY! I'll work on the rest! Thanks for stopping by! -- Gabrielle

HEY WENDY! I was just as surprised to pop up on the "front page"! We were just talking about Tom because we are going to CA again next month and will check out the places you guys take the kids down in San Diego! I hope we can make it to PHX this year! Thanks for leaving me a note! -- Gab

GOOD MORNING STEVE! Congratulations- how fun that this song reminded you of your 26 years! Thanks for leaving a note! -- Gabrielle

GOOD MORNING PAUL! Hey- nice to see you here - see you on yours! -- Gab

ALOHA MICHAEL! Thanks for leaving me a note - nice to see you here! -- Gab

GOOD MORNING JASON! I do as well - it is similar to get a page (does anyone remember pagers??!) only instead of a number - you get a voice mail! Thanks for stopping by! -- Gabrielle

GOOD MORNING HAL! I try to use it for positive things rather than to avoid conversations. It does come in handy! I would enjoy hearing your experience with it if you do try it out! Thanks for the note -- Gabrielle

GOOD MORNING BRUCE and MARY! I am looking forward to Google Voice - it sounds like a great tool! Good luck! Gabrielle

GOOD MORNING WINSTON! Lucky you! Have you written a post about your experiences with it so far? I would enjoy reading it! Thanks for stopping by! -- Gabrielle

GOOD MORNING MISSY! Have you already signed up for the "invite"? I am looking forward to it as well! Thanks for stopping by! -- Gabrielle

GOOD MORNING RENE! Oh those are fabulous reasons to use SlyDial! Thank you for sharing them! The talker clients are a perfect example - we love them - but ......! Take care, Gabrielle

GOOD MORNING CHRISTINE! Sometimes it could be weirdness but I think a lot of people use this! Thanks for stopping by! -- Gabrielle

GOOD MORNING HARRISON! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a note! -- Gabrielle

GOOD MORNING CLAUDETTE! I agree! I think it's wonderful that we have all these tethering and "reachable" gadgets and tools available to us. But on the other hand, it can get over-whelming and sometimes, I just need a break from leaning on the phone - that's when this comes in handy! Thanks for the viewpoint! -- Gabrielle

GOOD MORNING GARY! Nice to see you here! That's what I love about AR - when we feel "out of it" - someone gets us back "into it"! Thanks for your comment -- Gabrielle

I hope that I acknowledged everyone - if I didn't - I apologize. Thank you so much for taking time to read this post! I am glad that I sparked interest in so many of you and am thrilled and lucky to be featured! Enjoy your day! -- Gabrielle

One more reason why I wish I had an iPhone instead of my Blackberry. Thanks for the tip about Google Voice. I've been looking for something like that.

HI YVETTE & DENNIS! I have yet to use Skype and thought about it until I saw Pinger and Google Voice! Thanks for visiting! -- Gabrielle

HI BRAD! I felt pretty lucky to get featured, but am thrilled that you took a minute to leave a note here on my post! You are a busy and this shows you aren't too busy for us in the AR community! -- Gabrielle

HI DARRELL!I too have a Blackberry and it is just a matter of time before they are as capable as the iPHONE. I stick with the Blackberry mostly because of the battery-life issues and I do love it. Anyway, Pinger works good if you have the iTOUCH so that's an option if you are interested in a portable multi-media unit - then you can text in a pinch! Thanks for stopping by -- Gabrielle

HI SONJA! Glad that you can see some use for slyDIAL - enjoy if you use it. Thanks for stopping by -- Gabrielle

HI EMILY! Thank you and thanks for stopping by -- Gabrielle

HI LIZ and ADRIANA! You'll both have to let me know if you try it! I love it! Thanks for stopping by! -- Gabrielle
