Changes

: Here's an even further thought. To leave us the message that we hear when we call, A standard voice mail system was probably used (like a mailbox). Perhaps if we do get in, the only thing we can do is change the greeting from the wiretap message to whoever does gets in stupid self saying "Now What...?" If you dial the number, but change the last digits from 10 to 09, you get a voicemail that is inactive. This is simply a message that was recorded on an answering machine. You aren't supposed to be able to get in to the system. -[[User:Crazyninfan|Crazyninfan]] :: Further consideration of the messages and the way the system is reacting (on all these numbers) reminds me of interacting with an IVR system that has been set to "closed" - meaning, the business is closed and to immediately react to all incoming calls with a message, instead of presenting any options. This explains why one can circumvent the system by interrupting it with * and # commands (though further reading of their manuals would have shown them how to even turn those off, preventing us from the mailbox/fax reroute options it keeps giving).  :: Whether these mailboxes and fax reroutes were left open by being set up hastily, or are being left open for possible future use (or just to see the amusing things we say/send in trying to goad a response from them!) of course, we have to wait and see. This equipment is easy to get, and through the same channels, so are mass dialers that can dial from IVR logs of incoming numbers (modern IVRs are able to store and log caller ID enabled phone numbers, creating their own call lists that can be fed to mass dialers.).  :: to explain, an IVR is an Interactive Voice Recording (System); this is what companies use to give you the instant answer messages and options, such as "push 1 for billing, push 2 for customer service, etc" they can be rented, purchased, and set up for small business, temporary use, or permanent, large scale use, making them ideal for what's being done with these numbers. --[[User:Killjoy|killjoy]] 00:22, 10 April 2007 (PDT)
