TIMON is revolutionising the consultancy industry, with hundreds of experts (lawyers, doctors, and celebrities, for example) available for instant voice calls or text chats, whenever it suits you. After all, who has the time or money to book and attend appointments, when all you want is a quick answer to a quick question?

TIMON currently has over 100 experts or ‘gurus’ available, and over 2 500 users have already signed up.

The different gurus on TIMON set their own rates to receive calls or text messages – depending on how they value their time. As a user, you can call them through the TIMON app and you will be billed according to the rate they set.

But that’s only after you’ve spent the free R100 sign-up credit that TIMON is giving away to the first 250 that sign up from today.

New users, what do you have to do to sign up? Just download the app here, and sign in using the passwordless sign-up or your Facebook/LinkedIn/Google logins.

Go to the settings section and you’ll see the credits showing under the ‘credits’ tab.

Existing users are also able to claim R100 credit for themselves. Simply email info@timonapp.com with the subject line ‘credit please’, and say in the email who you will be calling with the credit.

The first 100 received will get R100 credit. Make sure you send the email from the same account you used to sign-up up to TIMON.

TIMON is adding new gurus all the time. A medical doctor has recently been added, as has a herbal doctor. They are currently shortlisting possible psychiatrist and paediatric gurus.

I like the sound of that. A quick call to a shrink to get you through the morning traffic!
