Dial-o, the new typo

shai-close.thumbnail Congrats to Shai Berger, the first to coin "dial-o" and winner by popular acclaim of a Sony PSP3, courtesy of Skype. Shai is CEO of Fonolo, which helps you deep dial customer service, sales, and tech support hotlines, bypassing phone trees.

Other suggestions for what to call an accidental call:

  • Skypo
  • callerr...pronounced differently from caller. More like Call Err!
  • Bad Call
  • DTMF'd (no other meaning there :-) as in oops I dtmf'ed the wrong number
  • MisD'd as in Sorry I misd'd the number.
  • Burp
  • ryle (wrong + dial)
  • voops (VoIP + whoops) 

P.S. So, do you pronounce it "di-low" or "di-uhl-oh"?

P.P.S. dialo.com resolves to dialo.de, a yellow page directory for Germany.
