Barry,
DS> Years ago, a former Sysop and his wife (both are dead and gone
DS> now) were "about to get frisky", when a telemarketer called. Not
DS> to lose anything on the moment, they "let it all hang out" <G>.
DS> The telemarketer was so embarrassed, that he hung up!! He
DS> probably thought he had dialed a porn line!! <BG>
BM> Yours is more interesting than my phone call!
Well, it wasn't mine...but I had to laugh when told about it.
DS> There's a franchise in central Arkansas called "David's
DS> Burgers", at www.davidsburgers.com -- if you order a combo, you
DS> get unlimited french fries.
BM> Sounds good! ...Wonder how they do the unlimited French fries with to
BM> go and delivery orders?!
That I'm not sure of. Right now, dining rooms are limited to 67%
capacity...and the best time to go is after the lunch rush is over.
BM> *67 to you too! <gg> More the curse to those who falsify it.
I've gotten a bunch of spoofed numbers and calls to my smartphone.
I use the Call Control app to block these.
DS> When I was on dial-up, I used a door from Sunrise Doors
DS> Software, called CID Check. It took the number from the modem,
DS> and that was the equivalent of a telnet email verifier on today's
DS> BBS's.
BM> It would seem the phone companies could do the same.
I remember paying for the Caller ID when I had the landline. But,
after the way AT&T did my late Mom and myself, I'm never going back.
Besides, their phone lines are likely VoIP instead of analog,
anyway...and I've already got that with T-Mobile...and at least half
the cost.
BM> Mine can; just one less intreruption. More convenient for me to check
BM> their app on the phone.
My pharmacy doesn't have an app, but they have a Facebook page.
