gollark: DTel charges meaningless virtual money to maintain a phone number, which I dislike. Additionally, it uses !!NUMBERS!!.
gollark: Yes, like DTel but stupider.
gollark: AutoBotRobot has an entire fourteen (14) (0b1110) servers so it would be very useful.
gollark: There would also be an index and "dial random place" function.
gollark: You would configure a channel for making/receiving calls, and it would be assigned a "number" (maybe four random words, even) with which other people could apiocall (alternative name pending) you.If you take an apiocall, you would then temporarily have messages be apioformically transmitted between the servers on each end until someone ends it.
