see its right there in the manual where it says
Grimey Drawer
"Good day sir is this <mangled_pronunciation> of <truncated_company_name>? I am calling on behalf of <company_IDGAF_about> because we would like to send you our latest whitepaper about <subject_IDGAF_about> and we need to confirm that your email address is <correct_email>."

8 or 9 times a week.

I do not understand this marketing strategy.

not only did I not have any interest in your company, I will now actively avoid doing any business with you.

thanks for interrupting me, assholes! just send your fuckin marketing emails. Call or no call they all go into the junk folder

More trash for the trash fire
My voicemail light has been lit and "New Callers" has been 99 since i took over my desk. I only ever use it to dial in to conference calls on speakerphone just to annoy everyone.

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp

"Welcome to Hausbus, press 7 minus 6 to ring the phones, press the number of possible states of a bit to leave a voicemail, Press the square root of nine to hear Bitcoin prices, Press how many balls there are on a cliff to hear a kitty meow, Press nine to hang up."

quote:

Incoming phone calls are immediately forwarded to voicemail when the iDivert key is used. The iDivert softkey option is similar to the Ignore key found on Windows Mobile and other popular cell phones. The calling party will probably know that their call has been forwarded to voicemail too soon if the iDivert key is used.
