FAQ: Direct-to-Voicemail Calling
The most reliable way to call someone and go straight to voicemail is to use a dedicated service like Slydial. Simply dial 267-759-3425, listen to the ad (or subscribe to skip it), then enter the recipient's 10-digit mobile number when prompted. Alternatively, you can try the airplane mode method: dial the number, quickly enable airplane mode before the call connects, wait a few seconds, then disable airplane mode. This sometimes causes the call to go to voicemail without ringing. Some carriers also support direct voicemail access by dialing *86 followed by the phone number, though this varies by provider. For business users, services like Slybroadcast and DropCowboy offer more robust direct-to-voicemail solutions.
