Hello, I was wondering if any of you people out there in Netland had any information about the tones that you sometimes get when you dial a wrong number. For example, if you dial a number that is not in service or one that is disconnected you get a series of three? tones and a synthetic voice telling you what you have done wrong. I was wondering: 1) Are these tones different for different types of messages? 2) Is there a code behind the tone sequence? If there is, what is the code or where can if find a listing for it? 3) What is the official purpose of the tones? Can the be recognized by a Touch Tone (tm) decoder? Thanks in advance.
