Hi,
What countries is this available in? Is it available outside the US? I live in the UK. There is absolutely nothing on their website about this. I even checked the 'blogs' page, and the most recent entry there is from September. Is the number you provided a free call number from within the US?

I just attempted to call that number from my iPhone, but it is once again begging for juice. When I tried using my A-lady device, she informed me that I've reached some sort of call limit. There's no way in heck that I'm using her iOS companion, so I guess I'll have to wait until my phone has a sufficient amount of vitamins again. In any case, it looks like I'll be able to use Innosearch to purchase gifts for the fam. I wonder what they'll come up with next, shopping while on the crapper?

Hi Tara,
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your questions. All I can share is that I called from within the US, and the instructions were:
"Dial +1 855-SHOP-GPT (+1 855-746-7478) and talk with our AI"

Hi Ekaj, Take your phone in there and you actually can shop while on the crapper! LOL!

No problem. Thinking about it, if it were available in the UK, there'd be a British number.

I am not sure how it works in the UK, but in the US a number with an 855 is a toll free number. Again, I'm not sure if that will help, but I do hope so.

Hi,
Our freephone numbers start with 0800, but that's OK. Maybe they'll be a British number soon, thanks for your answer anyway.

I feel like if it were available here the RNIB would be promoting it. Also 0500 are freephone numbers I believe, because there weren't enough 0800 numbers to go around.

Yep, you're probably right about the RNIB. Forgot about those 0500 numbers. Didn't know they were still around, haven't heard a number like that for years.
