I just got an uninvited "blast" from these idiots, despite being on the DNC list for ages. These people should be put out of business.

I am not amused by this spam garbage on my phones and also on my 80 year old Mother's phone.

This is pure harassment and I am following through on a civil lawsuit. I received it on a cell phone that I have had for 5 years and I only use it for emergencies. I received one on my home land line. I received one on my VOIP phone, with a brand new number and a new block of prefix numbers just made available by the VOIP service. There is no one in my family or friends of mine that would use such a piece of garbage web site like this.

HeyCozmo.com I'll take my $200.00 now! BTW, $200.00 per phone call brings it up to $600 for me and $200 for my Mum.

NO REASONABLE PERSON WOULD THINK THIS WEB SITE IS PROPER!

I'm surprised that the mainstream tech media (not just VentureBeat, but CNet, Engadget, and the San Jose Mercury News, among others) haven't picked up on the fact that, uh, they endorsed a dud. Ain't no shame: The products they unrolled and the vision they touted were rather compelling--how was anyone to know the true nature of HeyCosmo? I did some of the research: http://www.mobilemarketingw... Feel free to use it, as long as you give me a shout-out :)

This is BS. I have my cell phone listed on the Do Not Call registry and I got a call from some prerecorded woman blathering on about "Predict-O". I promptly reported them to the DNC registry. There is another blog where hundreds of others are doing the same.

This is horse shit!

I, too, just received an unsolicited call from this service. My cell phone is a personal phone. This is nothing more than an easy way to be scammed. From reading several other web sites about Hey Cosmo there is no limit on when they call or how often. I have blocked my number at their site and have forwarded the information to friends and family to block their numbers. I hope that the block works. This is not the way to do business.

This is an abusive "service." The system is manipulated by scammers and web trolls. Many people are receiving phone abuse from Hey Cosmo. The site should come down because the abuse is not tolerable.

I hope this ridiculous piece of unsolicited rudeness falls flat on its sorry keyboard.

Effing ridiculous! I just got a call from these people asking about somebody's wife's future baby. Total waste of my money @ time! Like the other person said, my friends actually CALL ME DIRECTLY, not use some dumbass service like this. Besides, who the hell is having a baby?

This is ridiculous. I am not a restaurant, I am not a business owner, my friends actually pic up the phone and call me personally if they want to chat....this so-called "service" is a nuisance that should have better securities regarding who receives the calls.

I saw the blog and it appears that they have that function "on the roadmap." Not being able to get the missed message is just a little nuisance but really haven't found it a hindrance to using it.

Hey No Likely, similar thing happened to my friends. I sent a blast to a bunch of my buddies this past weekend about going down to San Jose Rock & Roll Half-Marathon to see if they wanted to join me and a couple of ‘em said they missed the call and wanted to know what my msg was.

Have you tried using it to blast your friends yet? Well, you were probably called by a friend of yours because that concierge service can only call businesses. Unless your cell phone is listed as a business, concierge can't call you.

I just checked out their blog on HeyCosmo.com and it looks like they are working on a msg retrieval if you missed the call. They should've had that from the getgo. Duhh~

Until they get that going, I'm only using the blaster for my party invites.

I think this is an easy misunderstanding. I just used that concierge app to get my someone to come to my home to bid for reshingling and I used the standard call template that comes up as a default for that category. I edited the options for my needs but didn’t edit the response portion. The response read that if a certain time was available that I would call back to confirm the reservation, which means that the call you may have received was only checking availability and not really locking in a reservation. My calls got 5 responses back and decided to call back on the closest one to my location and confirmed a reservation.

Got blasted at work by a customer needing their car serviced. Never showed up.. Maybe there should be something that the customer does when they make a final choice to let all the other "potentials" know that your going else where so we can un hold your appointment slot!

I just got "blasted" on my cell. I am not a retaurant and I just hung up. Now I have no idea what this was all about. Cell services bill for incoming calls and having an automated call on a cell phone is bizare. This service is really stupid.
