Honest question: how does the telephone system confuse you?
-Dial a number, receive a person (or voicemail).
-Most people don't even dial numbers any more. Select contact, press send, receive person.
Do you use a cellphone or landline? Are you in the US? I'm on (crappy) AT&T service with a cell phone and haven't had a dropped or misrouted call...ever.
- randomdata 15y ago> how does the telephone system confuse you? Confuse may not be the best word, intimidated maybe, but I don't know. I realize it is just the execution of basic steps. As per my previous example, how does if [ -r /etc/passwd ]; then cat /etc/passwd; fi confuse someone? It too is just simple, repeatable steps. > Do you use a cellphone or landline? Are you in the US? I have had problems with both, though cell does seem more prone to it, even in strong reception areas. This is in Canada, spanning multiple providers. I find it actually quite amazing how often it does fail for me, though I recall reading some stats not too long ago that showed the number of calling errors to be surprisingly high.
