Mr. Number Dials Up $3.5 Million From Menlo Ventures To Give You More Control Of Your Phone

We now live in a world of robust communication tools. Facebook, Twitter, IM, Skype, FaceTime, etc. But the one that still connects nearly everyone, the phone, remains rudimentary. Sure, phone communication has gone completely wireless, but a call is still a call. It requires dialing a number and connecting. Mr. Number's goal is to add new layers of usefulness. As a mobile app available for iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry, Mr. Number allows you to do things like let friends know when it's a good time to call you. Or you can tell them that you'd prefer a text message at the moment. Or you can say you're busy and ask for a voice message instead. People waste a lot of time doing these things right now because it's basically a guessing game as to what the best way is to get ahold of someone at any time. Mr. Number removes the guessing game.
