Nope... we're not talking about driving under the influence here, but dialing under the influence. Virgin Mobile is now offering a new service to its customers: Dialling Under the Influence. For 25 cents per number, VM will blacklist certain users from your phone, so that you can't get drunk and then go off calling in a stupor. You just enter 333 before the number you want blacklisted, and they won't put any calls through to that number til after 6am the next morning.
As far as I know, this service is still only available in Australia, but rumor has it they'd like to bring it to the US soon. Personally, I'd never use it. Then again, I'm never drunk. Have we, as a society, really come to this? That we need our cell phone company policing our phonecalls so we don't go dialling recklessly and making fools of ourselves? Sad, I tell ya.
