How to Call a Second Life Avatar with Your Cell Phone
People in the real world who want to call friends, family members or business colleagues in Second Life (SL) can do so via Linden's AvaLine: Dial an Avatar service. With this service, the real-world caller simply dials an AvaLine local access phone number and enters the Second Life Resident's extension, called a connection code, to reach that person. As long as the person is available to speak, and willing to accept the call, you can speak with one another as you would on a normal cell phone call.
