but it started with the SIT tone that indicates your line is out of service (some automated dialers listen for the tone sequence and flag your number as invalid and never call it again).
After the SIT tone played, the 'script' began. It took a while to build this:
'The number you have reached - five five five one two one two - is not in service. If you would like a number that is in service, please contact your local telephone company.'
What took the longest was getting the digits in the same voice the phone company uses. I tried several methods, in the end I wound up having a friend read the digits 0 through 9 into a mic and I assembled the number from there. Yes, I had my real number in the message. Friends got it right away, and those that didn't, too bad. |
