Yes. Sometimes I just can't be caught up talking to someone, but need to leave a message. Texting has helped minimize need for slydial, however.

It's a dandy idea, but not very courageous, IMHO.  I'd rather face people than hide from them, even if they are planning on being difficult.

I use it when I am calling after business hours.  I don't use it to spam.  There's a local guy in our MLS who slydials everyone in MLS to tell us about his open houses.  I am annoyed by that type of use.
