- This is an easy way to get quick messages to someone from a
- payfone either LD or when you don't have change to make a call. It works
- best using 1-800-COLLECT. Some other carriers will also work, assuming
- they use computerized routing of the collect call.
-
- 1) Call 1-800-COLLECT (or your other carrier) Enter the #
- of the recipient of the message when prompted.
-
- 2) When you are asked to say your name, you have about *6*
- seconds to record your message. Examples include:
-
- "It's John, call me at 555-1212"
-
- "My plane will get in at 6:55 pm, Terminal D, USAir"
-
- "Mom, come pick me up at the Gym Doors of the school"
-
- You get the idea.
-
- 3) Allow the recieving party to reject the call. They will recieve
- your message, and can hang up. You MUST stay on the line until
- you are told that your call has been refused. That will ensure
- that the other end heard your message. Also, the "name" will be
- repeated twice, so if there is a date or fone number in it, the
- recieving party will hear it a second time if they miss it.
-
- Be aware that although 1-800-COLLECT doesn't screen the "name" that is
- recorded, they may notice a large number of refused calls from a reciever.
- You shouldn't use this all the time, but it can be handy.
