- We have a service on the payphones around here (DC area) that will
- record a message and attempt to deliver if a dialed number is busy for
- an additional .25 cents. Twice when I've tried to call a friend on
- one of these phones, the called person has picked up and then a few
- seconds later Send-A-Call kicks in and cuts me off. It has happened
- where once the person had call waiting and another time, after I got
- the operator to connect my call after it happened again, there was an
- audible click during the outgoing message of an announcement I was
- calling. Both of these may have somehow confused the Send-A-Call into
- thinking the dialed number had actually been busy.
