Phone Number Audio:A Bit of Fun for Phone Directories

Friday Mar 21, 2008

Free online phone directory TelephoneNumber.com seems to have succumbed to the fun side, at least with their new audio feature. Just two months after officially re-launching their website with a host of new features, founder Mike McManigal already has something new and engaging up his sleeves.

Last Feb. 26, he announced a new feature, the Phone Number Audio: telephone numbers spoken in a number of foreign languages, impersonations, and sounds. Users can learn their telephone number in different languages, or just listen to their telephone number being played back in other languages, funny sounds, accents, or impersonations.

The Phone Number Audio feature is being released with a varied list of languages from Arabic to Zulu, and offers users the opportunity to contribute their sound bites as well. For example, users are urged to contribute a language not already available, or an audio file of their impersonation of a favorite character. Users will then be able to hear
their telephone number played back in voices such as: Robert De Niro, Elvis, Scooby-Doo, Donald Duck, and more.

TelephoneNumber.com provides comprehensive online searches of U.S.White Pages, Yellow Pages, Area Codes, ZIP Codes, and reverse number and address searches. Plus, TelephoneNumber.com offers free text messaging to cell phones, and the ability to create a free website with the users telephone number used as the web address.

“We thought it would be fun to let our users hear their telephone numbers spoken in a foreign language or by a fellow user impersonating someone famous,  the founder said in a press release. Phone Number Audio is one more feature that sets us apart from other online directory service providers. TelephoneNumber.com’s telephone directory is not only useful but now a bit more fun!” (I think I am going to pick Elvis!)
