Today I dialed a phone in the next town. I got the tones-- those three tones carefully engineered to be the most annoying sound in the universe-- and the message "We're sorry. It is not necessary to dial one before dialing this number. Please hang up and try again."
If the phone company could program this thing to recognize I'd dialed a local number and then NAG ME ABOUT IT, why didn't they program it to JUST CONNECT THE CALL?
Idiots.
