CLI
Posted: Mon 24 January, 2005 Filed under: General 2 Comments »While I’m at work, I try to have a bit of a policy when it comes to my mobile phone. Thanks to CLI, it displays who’s calling. Well, except when the call is coming from an office, or from behind a switchboard, in which case it displays “Private Number” or somesuch guff.
If I can see who’s calling, I’ll normally answer the phone. Seems pretty simple. If I don’t know, I don’t answer it – the phone redirects to the answering service after four rings anyway, so it’s no problem.
However, CLI appears to have passed a lot of people by – particularly those who call from offices or from behind switchboards. So the moronic twunts just ring off when they hear the answerphone message, and thus I’ve keck-all chance of calling them back.
What is it that is so bloody difficult and mentally challenging about recording a message?
with you on this one. only problem is with the wife – she assumes i’m having an affair if i don’t answer the phone when it rings in her presence…
I usually don’t answer ‘Private Number’ calls as they’re usually calls from work.
