The phone's already been answered ? the longer you test this , the longer you give the caller an option to hang up..... ....been there. done that. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dan Fitzgerald Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 1:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT:Re: [U2] Dialers with Universe Oh; and here's something I did learn, for what it's worth. The PD "listens" for a human voice, If it hears a short burst ("Hello?") followed by silence, it connects you to an available operator. If it hears a longer burst, indicating a voice mail greeting (This is Dick Cheney. I'm not here to take your call..."), it hangs up. So, if you answer your phone with a sentence longer than, say, 3 seconds, you'll get hung up on. Probably better to be on "Do Not Call", but a handy trick to know, I've found.
