Submission + - Call from 'anywhere'... from anywhere!

Butcher writes: Network World talks about a new service called Whooptones which lets you add backgrounds to your phone calls — backgrounds that let you create the illusion that you're somewhere else. Just think — now you can cover up your Saturday night at home reading Slashdot with a call to your friends — just activate the party background and scream into the phone "SORRY, CAN'T HANG WITH YOU TONIGHT!" That's it — you're done, they think you're cool, and you can go back to Slashdot! (I know, unrealistic example because Slashdot on a Saturday night is already cool.)

There's even more. Whooptones also lets you 'inject' sounds by pressing the buttons on your phone — sounds that you select from the library or create yourself. How about greeting the customer care rep after your 25 minutes on hold with chain gun fire.

Some other cool features: it works with any phone (cell, fixed), voice recognition for dialing contacts, click-to-call, and ability to create your own private sounds as well as publish some for others.
