SpellDial

What is SpellDial?
SpellDial is a technology that allows you to dial names instead of numbers. This is applicable only for those who have setup a spelldial account. Once you have checked the availability of your username you can register it to point to a specific number. So instead of dialing a number, you dial their username.

For example, if Jonina's username is joninahottie and it points to (1234)567-8900 , simply spell out her username (joninahottie) and it will immediately connect you to her. So anyone who dials joninahottie will be dialing (1234)567-8900 .

The great thing about SpellDial is if you have a change of number, all you have to do is change the number your username points to. This saves you from all the hassle of contacting your friends and telling them you have a new number.

What if there are people with the same names?
SpellDial names work like email addresses or usernames. Once a SpellDial name is taken, you will have to register another name. But SpellDial names are country based, which means that if you register the name "albert" in the United States, another person in another country can register that name in their country.

How to confirm my account? What's a confirmation email?
After you register, a confirmation email will be sent to your email address. You will have to click the link that is sent to your email to confirm your registration. Once you confirmed it, then your SpellDial name is ready to use and you can now access your SpellDial account using your email address and your SpellDial password.

How do I get the SpellDial App on my phone?
