ifbyphone.com: listen, speak, play
ifbyphone.com, is a new media company focused on the distribution of recorded and text based information and family friendly entertainment via voice.
ifbyphone allows mobile users to play games such as Blackjack, Texas Hold 'em Poker and Trivia games, all by voice.
How does it work? In their own words:
Well, let's describe Blackjack as an example: Instead of just dealing the cards, the dealer in our version of Blackjack calls out the names of the cards as they are dealt. You then say 'hit', 'stand', 'fold', 'double', or 'split' to make your move.
In Trivia you can play solo games or games with a group of your friends. In our Trivia games ifbyphone is the game moderator, asking the questions and waiting for your replies."
