Noticed you had that invest link down there are you looking for huge VCs or have do you have the legal and technical ability to handle investments from the public?

Would rather go the VC route atm, but open. We are yet to prove our business model based on our beta launch.

This was super-confusing, at least to me. It uses the noun "email", which to me means "an email message ", as if it meant "an email address ". I found it very annoying and confusing. Perhaps I'm just old, though.

I've definitely heard "give me your email" when asking for someone's email address. It's not uncommon at all.

That always sounds odd to me, like when someone asks "do you have a Facebook?"

Dialzoo allows you to hide your phone number and get called for Free. It also allows to send voicemails to any email address in a click. Let me know what you think ? SebP

I get audio files of messages people leave me on MagicJack. I think this is something similar. I communicate with someone consistently who does not like to type. So, you may have a good use case. Your website has 90s look. It gives a look of a shaddy service. Doesn't look serious or even professional. That is what I think. You asked for it.

I like the pictures. These are 1990s web pages: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/6125914/How-20-popular...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

i don't think it's going to work. google had gvoice for years and marketed it with free phone calls and voicemails, and it didn't take off. i had a similar project 5~6 years ago, which fell apart. my conclusion is that free call is not attractive at all to general public. if you are competing again telcomms (excluding MIM apps), you need a product that is 10x better, and "free" is not a magic word. or, find your nich…

> my conclusion is that free call is not attractive at all to general public Well Google has the free calling built into Gmail and Hangouts now so I wouldn't be so sure about that.

let me rephrase my words: free call is not attractive at all to general public as a standalone product. it's a nice-to-have feature, not a deal maker.

Can I register and still get callers to leave voice mail? How about using an alias instead of my email in the url?

We have now added the possibility to choose between Voicemail and call, when the email is linked to a phone number.

Check it out !
