I have been with Jott (and requall and Dial2do) for 6 months now and have never received a text spam. Have the cell phone company change your phone number. Most will do it 1 time for free. Then send out mass text message to your contacts of the number change. You probably got a new phone number that was already being spammed.

I started toying with ReQall (www.reqall.com) a few months ago and now will use it instead full-time. ReQall has a 30 sec time limit for the free account and it will email you your transcription. I wonder how that compares to Dial2Do - I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip! Yeah, it’s unfortunate Jott has gone to an all paid service now.

($3.95 a month isn't too much.) With a service upgrade, I suppose they also offer the option of having the notes sent to your email, which helps to make them easier to clip to Google Notebook. There are only 2 reasons why I'm on the fence about paying for Jott. One is that the message is still only 15 seconds long. As I mention in the article above, this is an asset; however, it would be nice to have more time available. To increase time by just 15 seconds, a user must pay 3 times as much per month. The second reason I'm not committed is that they don't accept Paypal. Frankly, if I was a new Jott customer, here are things that would have me paying to use Jott in a heartbeat: 1.) Registration option to make use of 10-20 free notes, 2.) Option to pay by Paypal, 3.) Ability to condense several notes into a single note. The registration option would still allow Jott to offer a few free notes, without compromising its means of monetization. While the company offers an option to receive all of your notes in a daily email, I think its services would be more irresistible if it allow users to interactively "bundle" notes together (for example, permitting users to make a paragraph out of several solitary sentences).

I used jott till the time limit came. I use it(Dial2Do) for everything, linking to my Google calendar to listing mileage for my expense report. Love that I can listen to weather and other services they offer. I can even link to my Evernote account. Dial2Do is the way to go. I used jott till the time limit came.

Just after getting a new phone, I eagerly signed up for Jott. Almost instantly the spam calls started pouring in. I agree that Jott is a great service: I love the idea, but I definitely do not appreciate my number being sold. Has anyone else experienced this?

Great service, great features, truly remarkable service, but there pricing structure is nonsensical. Instead I moved everything to <a href="https://www.dial2do.com/" rel="nofollow">">. Not quite as polished and slick as Jott, but still works quite well for this type of dictation/brain dumping. I was an avid user of Jott… until it went pay only.
