[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 5717234, member: 7808"] It may also be fun to try hitting numbers on your keypad. I imagine most systems are programmed to respond to certain numbers: 0 for the operator, different numbers bring you to extensions in the phone system, etc. But if you want to break it again, you could try hitting the pound or star buttons repeatedly. This will cause an error response on many systems. As a side note, you can also try mashing pound or star to get around some of the more annoying computer-based answering systems if you have trouble getting a live person. I have also read that some computer based phone systems are programmed to recognize angry customers, so swearing into them can lead to a faster response. You might try cursing at it to see what it says back. From there, try more esoteric insults to see how good it's range is; will it recognize cursing in Spanish? How about Shakespearean insults? What will it say if you threaten legal action? [/QUOTE]
