While playing back my messages, I heard a ring (maybe not much else ...) - and found later that a friend with the same brand (G.E.) answering machine had a weird message that we matched up to my own. BTW, her number is slot "4" on my speed dialing. And I'm not positive but that it hasn't happened in reverse - from her machine to me - I'm slot "2" on her speed dialing ... It could be even easier then recognizing the one digit and a pound sign - speed dialing will timeout (just the digit and a few seconds wait, no #), so all it needs really is the single digit, which can even be pulse dialed, and enough time to timeout and place the call! Geez, I'd LOVE to here how this actually does happen! -steve-
