You don’t have to be famous to get a SayNow number

That’s right, as of last week, anyone can now get a SayNow number for free. And you can use it however you’d like! i.e.

  • To hear from people you may not know (but might want to know).
  • To broadcast messages to people who want to hear from you - from your phone to theirs.
  • To chat with and meet new people!

A SayNow number also lets the people who call your line send messages to each other (it’s like having a party on your line where all the people who like you can meet each other too. You don’t even have to make any formal introductions :-)

We hope you have fun with it. Definitely send us your feedback and let us know what we can do better!

Shoutout from Marlon Wayans

Marlon Wayans talked about his new movie Dance Flick in this interview with Radio Big Boy earlier this week (and also gave out his SayNow number! 3:54 in the video above).

I’m thinking we need to do a double header on Friday and watch You Got Served first and then Dance Flick afterwards. Anyone? Company field trip? :-)
