Speakerphone. That can also mean it’s automatically on. So you do something else, hear something narrated as the message and the last thing that stays in your head is clear “this is not a drill.” And you probably didn’t have to answer the call and talk to the real person. You’ve just heard “this is not a drill.” So you act as you’re trained to do.
