I >>>>super-snipped<<<< and am quoting a sentence in Tuff Stuff's response:
"...my smartphone rings 3 times, then goes straight to voice mail, which is not set up".
This absolutely cracks me up.
It reminds me of work. We get tons of client calls. Many are angry, yelling and overall upset.
They say: "I've called 5 times and nobody ever calls me back".
I do call them back.
It is usually within a week, or, if I have time that day, they get a same day return call.
9 times out of 10, when I call them the phone has the following message: 1. The mailbox is full and is unable to accept messages; 2. This voice mail has not yet been set up. Or, my favorite: 3. This number is not accepting any calls".
