Hoiio Blog

Few months ago, we asked you what new features you would like to have with our Hoiio Number. Today, we introduce to you *drumroll~ Hoiio Genie

What does Hoiio Genie do?
1. Genie remembers all your phone numbers for you.
In the past, when you wanted to forward your Hoiio Number to a different phone, you had to either remember or jot down the number first. Imagine having to do that few times in a day. Now, Genie helps you remember all those numbers. Forwarding your Hoiio Number from your mobile phone to your office desk phone now takes only a click.

2. Genie routes your call based on a day-of-the-week and time-of-the-day schedule.
Have you ever wished that you could forward your Hoiio Number to your desk-phone during office hours, and to your mobile after office hours? Genie grants your wish with its Weekly Planner feature.

With Weekly Planner, you can even command your Hoiio Number to not forward calls (hang-up) based on the schedule you created. For example you can block calls for those weekly sales meeting, or night classes you need to attend. Genie also maintains a Whitelist for those important people whose call you do not want to block.

3. Genie helps you stay reachable when you are overseas.
Going on an extended business trip? A week in New York, another in London, 3 days in Paris. Your loved ones might lose track how to reach you. Should they call your New York mobile or hotel number? Are you in London yet? If you are, should they call your London office or mobile number?

With Hoiio Number and Hoiio Genie’s Overseas Trip, they only need to know one number to reach you. Pass your Hoiio Number before you go abroad, and configure the Overseas Trip, and she will do the rest for you.

One more thing, have you ever been woken up by a call in the middle of the night while you are overseas because your friend back home forgot about the time difference? Genie has a Do-Not-Disturb feature too to make sure you sleep peacefully and soundly. We know how important it is to have a good rest while away from home.

4. Genie blocks calls from unwanted sources.
Tired of being harassed by an ex-lover? Tired of receiving calls from telemarketers? Tell Genie to add those numbers into her Blacklist and Genie will protect you from them.

What do I need to do to start enjoying those features?

I highly recommend you to give your Hoiio Number instead of your mobile number when you fill up credit card application forms, so you can block their telemarketers :D Also when you need to publish your number on the internet, publish your Hoiio Number for the same reason.
