You can still use Dial2Do for free - from the <a href="http://xpenser.com/account/" rel="nofollow">Account page</a>, sign up for the Dial2Do service.

Am I missing something? I'm going to use this as a household budget tool. Maybe you could use the same engine and create a "budgeter" service. Thanks.

For example: - Create a report called "Diet". Set a keyword for it. If you include this keyword in your expense submission, the expense will be filed into the Diet report. You can pick any keyword you like, perhaps "food". - When you submit your expense, say the keyword as part of your expense. For example, "hamburger 280 from fatburger food" Here "food" would indicate the expense should be filed in the "Diet" report, and 280 would be the calories. We'll have instructions and a video soon.

I can't quite tell if I can categorize a jott to go to say, the diet report instead of the expense report or if I have to move the items online at xpenser.

Contact us at feedback@xpenser.com with the details and we can look into it in detail. Liz: the expense should show up in Xpenser as soon as you see it recorded in Jott.

Question: I just JOTT'd a test expense to xpenser via phone saying "Meal five dollars test" I see the entry in JOTT but it is missing in xpenser even after 14 minutes. How long does it normally take for a JOTT entry to show up in my xpenser account? Thanks! Liz This will be such a great tool!

You can use any category so long as your expense is in the above format. - One expense per call at the moment. Pat: Thanks!

Outstanding product and wonderfully easy to setup and use. 3 questions: - is the correct format "type" "value" "comment"? - are the expense types pre-categorized or don't you care? i.e. so long as I speak in the correct sequence you'll take the type/value/comment as is? - Can I do multiple entries in one Jott call? Have tried it a couple of times and it appears to take everything after the dollar value as being a comment (which means it's still captured, and that's vitally important), but doesn't appear to trigger on 'type' and thus create a new record. TIA. Pat. Love it! Outstanding product and wonderfully easy to setup and use.
