New UK Competitive Directory Services
Give You Wrong Number 40% Of The Time

New UK Competitive Directory Services
Give You Wrong Number 40% Of The Time 11/17/2003 03:08 PM
Directory assistance services are pretty straightforward. Someone asks for the phone number of a person or business they're trying to reach, and the service gives them the phone number. There certainly is a lot of data to manage, and working through similar names is definitely an issue - but you'd still think, on the whole, that if you call a directory service system you're more likely than not to get the right number. It turns out in the UK, where they've just deregulated their directory service system it's true that you'll get the right number more often than not - but just barely. In a large test of the various directory services providers, 38% of callers were not given the right number. Ouch. And 20% of those not served properly couldn't get a refund. Of course, in a competitive situation, you would think that the services that can't get the job done would get weeded out pretty quickly by word of mouth.

Services that insert sounds into mobile
phone conversations

Services that insert sounds into mobile
phone conversations 02/01/2005 08:38 PM
Xeni Jardin: A growing number of tech providers now offer "sound insertion" services for mobile phone users. Think: ringtones you plug into the "body" of a voice conversation. Sonic emoticons. Ronan Higgins of cafe.com says:

Lightwav for PalmOne Treo smartphones has a feature called "CoverUp Sound" where you can trigger sounds to play in the phone conversation.

I hear that this application is popular in Japan with cheating "salary men" husbands. They'll trigger sounds of a train station, a busy office or a bar, while explaining to their wives why they won't be home until later. Single men trigger the sound of a girl in the background saying "come back to bed" to make their male friends jealous.

I use it to insert a bad connection effect: "I can't hear you, you're breaking up on me, I'm losing signal, I'll have to call you back about that. Kshhhh."

In related news -- last week, San Francisco-based Phonebites nabbed a US$3MM venture round. They, too, offer a service that allows mobile phone users to insert a pre-recorded sound clip into a live conversation - like a radio soundboard, but for your cell phone. Here's a related Engadget post from last October: Link. (thanks, Marc Nathan, via the unwired list)

Update: BB reader Daniel says,

There's also such an application available for Seiries60 smartphones. The app is called CallCheater. And it works quite nicely.
