rofl, there are some digital anserwing services that i've seen that are really screwed up and can patch calls.
i had this one place on the phone, i forget where i think it was the cable company up here, anyway... i hit the pound key with my chin and it asked for a number, so i dialed my cellphone... i got nothing... so i'm like whatever, i continued about my business...
a day later i was like... i wonder if i could have hit 9 or soemthing for an outside line... so i called again and sure enough i hit 9+ my phone number and i got connected... it's was messed up
