AOLbyPhone

AOLByPhone was an AOL interactive voice service offered to millions of consumers starting in 2000. AOLByPhone started with the America Online acquisition of Quack.com and evolved through the subsequent relaunching of Quack.com's Voice Portal as AOLByPhone. AOL acquired other voice services companies including eVoice.com and InfoInteractive in the following years, and over time migrated from an information service (that at one time included Moviefone), to more of an interactive voice messaging service.

AOLByPhone was initiatally championed at AOL by Ted Leonsis, and AOLByPhone was once one of AOL's "web properties" along with MapQuest, Moviefone, Digital City and others. Quack.com and AOLByPhone were notable competitors to interactive voice services company Tellme Networks, now itself a division of Microsoft.
