My most hated recorded message of the moment. Recently I have spent large amounts of time trying to phone a certain mobile phone in Beijing. I know the international code (00 86), the city code (10), which I shouldn’t need, and the mobile number (135XXXXXXXX).
It worked once though I can’t remember exactly what I dialed. There are only a finite number of ways of dialing 00 86 10 13X leaving bits out.
Now every time I get that damned message. Technology that allows you to talk across 5,500km is great. Technology that almost allows you to talk across 5,500km is the creation of the devil.
