- Go to IconDial.com and you will see a keypad that let’s you dial any number in the world and have a free 3 minute convo.
- They support the service by playing a 3-5 second advertisement before your call takes place. They would like to expand the service to 15-20 minute calls.
- What’s wrong here?
- This is like having a free public pay-phone on the Internet with complete anonymity.
- This is a privacy and telecom industry shutdown waiting to happen.
- It’s also a prank callers dream
- Here’s what to do:
- Make this an emergency service that users can subscribe to for $2 a month is case they lose or are unable to access a phone and need to get a hold of people for free.
- Limit calls to 2-3 minutes and integrate a call ID if possible.
- Market it to today’s generation who doesn’t have a land line and would love to have this for quick home calls when they don’t have their mobile.
- Also works great for travelling. Jump into an internet cafe an make a 3 minute call.
- This way, you may score a couple hundred thousand users worldwide, producing solid subscription revenue, still make some money off the 3-5 second ads and privacy issues will be remedied.
