Qwell is a helpful service that lets you set your phone to Do Not Disturb. If there is an emergency, the caller can press ’9′ to push the call through if it’s an emergency. The company let us know that they are now offering two versions of Qwell: a free and a paid pro version.
Qwell Pro features a personalized Outgoing Message that lets you give the caller more detail as to why you can’t answer the phone. This is a great feature because often times people will call and ask the same question “why isn’t he/she answering?”.
Qwell also let us know that they are still running their on-going social media contest and are about 150 Twitter followers from giving away a Torch. Follow them at @QwellYourPhone for a chance to win a Torch.
