Now I'm wondering if this is how I got "Server Error" while trying to initiate a POTS call. First time I've ever gotten that. HN also feels sluggish today.

- jkingsman 3y agoAs in, something spoke the words "Server Error" to you when you tried to dial out?
- deathanatos 3y agoNo, actually, the Android phone app put those on the screen. (And yeah, not the more familiar/classic POTS voice message "We're sorry, the number you dialed…") (Quite … uselessly, too. An error in text form when the phone is against my ear is not helpful.)
- hunter2_ 3y agoPOTS has "no mobile capabilities" and is strictly "analog signal transmission over copper loops" [0] so I suspect that's the source of confusion in this case. PSTN is probably the acronym you meant, which refers to "Originally a network of fixed-line analog telephone systems, the PSTN is almost entirely digital in its core network and includes mobile and wireless networks" [1].

- deathanatos 3y agoHa, duly noted. Same system to me, I guess. Still a new, never before seen error.
