Drunk Dial NO! is the ultimately useful app for the Weekend! Fans LOVE us - read the reviews! Go out for a night on the town without ever worrying again! Drunk Dial NO! hides a contact's phone number(s) and email address(es) for between 1 and 48 hours! There's no limit on how many contacts you can lock. We all have a few contacts in our iPhone for people we really should NOT phone or email at 1am on a Friday night (your ex-girl/boy friend, your mother(!) or your boss). With Drunk Dial NO! you can leave your house at 8pm on a Friday night, hide those contacts for 12 hours and stop yourself waking up on Saturday morning thinking (cleaned up for iTunes!) "Oh dear! oh my! I didn't, did I??!" NEW FEATURE: Drunk Dial NO! now blocks incoming numbers for the time you set! Make sure that annoying ex-boyfriend doesn't try to call you when you're out on the town. Make sure your boss doesn't call and hear you drunk! Awesomely useful! NEW FEATURE: Send yourself a message upto 48 hours into the future! Warn your future, drunken, self against making a dreadful mistake! (you know the kind of thing we're talking about!) - Now looks great on Retina displays - Have Fun (and don't worry) ---------------- Real User Reviews: Drunk and call!! - 5 Stars by LISA705 - Version 2.995 - Nov 23, 2012 I like it, it saves me alot!

The Best! - 5 Stars by ksierra123 - Version 1.20 - May 29 2009 This is the best app ever! Thank you for saving me from myself! Perfect App - 5 Stars by Jenniferw83 - Version 2.00 - May 29 2010 This app is perfect, and not just for when you are drunk. It's good to keep me from calling or texting an ex right after we break up. Every time I get the urge to text just cause I put his number on drunk dial no for 48 hours and by the time the 48 hours goes by the urge is gone. If not then I put him on it for another 48 hours! ---------------- TO START: - Tap the '+' button - Choose one of your contacts - Drunk Dial NO! will store the contact's phone number(s) and email address(es) for between 1 and 48 hours - NO EXCUSES!
