...after the tone"
The automatic dialer, doubtless reflecting it's user's fit of pique, often leaves a busy signal. Another is a constant annoying tone; but the worst by far is some sort of loud static, apparently the most difficult to achieve 'cause it's relatively rare
Anyone know how to do it
Yes.
No.
Maybe.
Don't know.
Should I care?
When you say "automatic dialer", do you mean the presets on your phone, normally numbered one to ten, which contain your most frequently called numbers and which you just press the button to dial?
Or do you mean the answering machine on a land phone? Or do you mean the answering ability of your cell phone?
These things are not clear.
@Blickers,
Sorry Blick I just don't ha ve the needed vocab. If you don't answerer the phone, you get all that garbage
I think he means that if an automatic dialler (British spelling) that is, one of those cold caller places) calls his landline number, and he doesn't pick up, and it goes to answer machine, he ends up with a bunch of recorded noises which he hears when he plays back the answer machine tape. Is that right, dale?
@centrox,
Yea Cen I'm always impressed by your ability in this regard asa well as your helpfulness
Honest
Yea, that oughta be '-ly'
I don't answer my landline phone calls. The message recorder is always on. Looking at the caller IDs, I see mostly charity calls that probably ask for money. They don't leave messages most of the time. I like the one that says "Good Bye" when no one answers.

I just saw a YouTube video of a young boy examining a phone booth totally puzzled what it is as his grandmother films him laughing her ass off. Then he says,"Is it an old fashion phone?"
