    TalkTo App and Website for contacting businesses without phone

    TalkTo is a free app (currently only available for iPhone but should be for Android soon too) as well as a website where you don't have to make a phonecall to contact a store, restaurant, or even book appointments that accepts questions by texts. I believe that for businesses which do not accept text questions a representative will call them in your place and relay the information for you. It's remarkably convenient and a lifesaver for people who have fears concerning the phone. I used it once for the first time the other week from their website and it worked fantastic.

    Here is the Tumblr post where I first saw it with a more detailed explanation.

    And here is the website itself: http://talkto.com/

    This sort of thing is very tempting, but for me it would be counterproductive. I realize now that I really HAVE to make myself deal with other people instead of avoiding them, if I don't I'll never make any progress.

    Best of luck, I know how difficult even seemingly simple things like talking on the phone can be.

    Yeah, as much as I would love to use this app, it's probably better if I don't.

    My thoughts exactly I have pretty severe phone phobia and I'm trying to work on it.
