MyState App – Now you can Know When to Call Someone
MyState wants to solve the problem for people who want to know if it’s the right time to call someone. The mobile provide a smarter contacts book wherein icons for each contact indicates their communication status.
Internet Calling helps users to indicate their ‘presence’ and availability before initiating a call but the different platforms and the presence of a phone line complicates matters and the concept has not been universal. MyState is trying to end phone tag forever.
The app wants to terminate ‘communication blindness.’ One often get a busy signal when calling people and sometimes calls cause interruption during meetings, wasting time in result. Although phones have evolved considerably, the problem has stuck. The time wasted in getting hold of a contact has been immense, which the app tries to solve.
MyState is founded by innovators and entrepreneurs like Dr. Rony Ohayon, Assaf Pney-el, and others. The company houses 20 employees at their varied offices based in Israel.
Solving a Universal Problem
This app tries to solve the problem by letting you know in advance whether your contact is available or busy. MyState will notify you if the user is on call or is busy or on DNB mode, and also intimates back if the user is available after some time.
The app will display if a contact is not online. The Android version has more tricks in its arsenal though than the iOS app since it shows up automatically if the contact is on a call, or that they have kept the phone on silent/ vibrate mode or even if their phone lacks enough juice to survive for long. The company is working on the same features for iOS mobile app too.
How does it Help?
The makers thought of the idea when the head was picking up calls which he presumed to be urgent but were not urgent, wasting his time in the process. He wished for some way to intimate contacts about his availability on a call, or a status that screamed that they can disturb him if urgent.
The mobile app works on a “smart communication platform” that lets businesses communicate with each other. The app raised $6.5 million from several private investors from US and Israel. The capital is aimed to boost the startup’s B2B business model, including integration with call centers.
