alienbinary, pretty much any good-quality Pat Trumbull recording I can listen to, and be entertained by, for hours. Especially Pat Trumbull recordings from Oregon and Washington. Those are the only two states I've had the opportunity to hear Pat from the other side, the "client" side, if you will. It's nice to know that you're calling a place you've been before.

I'm actually a little sick of Pat right now. I just found out that almost all of the recordings in my CO were changed to recordings done by Pat. I really liked the ones that were done by local people. Not many CO's around here have their own disconnected number recordings, and it gave my office personality. However, I guess it was time to get rid of the disconnected number recording that announced the old area code, 412. After all, it's only been 9 years since the 412 area code was split

Otherwise, I do like Pat's voice. It reminds me a bit of Jane Barbe's voice, but I still like Jane's voice the best. I also like the voice of the lady on Cingular's phone system, but I don't know her name.

Pat > Jane, imo. Pat's smoother, less jumpy. And I feel your pain, Jman. Some switches in Calgary (where I call often) , a city a few hundred miles south of me, recently changed their Not-In-Service recording to just reorder. When you thought the recording couldn't get any worse, it gets changed to reorder. :S

When you dial 212-207-9901, you get a report that says:

That's one of those annoying religious types that will stop you on the street and try to recruit you. Ask him about something called "Mother God".

One more,

208-774-9999:
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is either disconnected for the season or disconnected permanently. Please check your number and try your call again."

That must be a hunting/fishing town, or a place that only sane people live during "the season." I've never heard a recording mention anything about having a number disconnected for the season, so I think this one is somewhat unique.

This recording is horrible. It's low in volume, it has a loud buzzing noise, and you can hear two other recordings being played in the background. The recording trailer also has the old area code, 412. But I'll give them a break, it's only been 9 years since the 412 area code split

i got it in time.
we had fun with that number on the conf saturday. i wonder how many times he called that payphone trying to call me back lol.

[ThoughtPhreaker]

This thread hasn't had much headway lately, so I thought I might contribute a number

828-297-9990 - This is a Sensaphone unit located at a DMS-10 operated by an independent telephone company in North Carolina. Pressing option one, selection three lets you briefly hear the sound level in the CO. It really gives you an idea of what the overpowering ensemble of fans in the CO sound like. It makes me wonder if you can actually hear people shouting over it during business hours.

914-337-9900 - Kind of a weird thing to do. Put a voicemail up instead of a plain 'ol announcement, and then tell people not to leave anything on it?

That's not that unusual. What happens is that when a number stops being used for its specified purpose it can take mnoths or years tfor Verizon to get rid of all mentions of that number in their systems, documents, whatever. So the message is there for anybody who calls it to tell them that the mailbox for whatever service was on that number before is no longer being checked.

I've been looking around +1 (888) 846-27xx lately, and I've found a few numbers
that produce some weird tones that I'm hoping someone will be able to identify:

+1 (888) 846-2757
+1 (888) 846-2759
+1 (888) 846-2774
+1 (888) 846-2784
+1 (888) 846-2788

Never encountered any tones like that before, and someone suggested it may be
some kinda carrier. There may be a few others in that range like that, seeing as
my provider is notorious for automatically dropping calls to arbitrary US toll free
numbers right after dialling.

The only other potentially interesting number I saw was:

+1 (888) 846-2722

Which seems to be some FaxBack service with a few anti-phraud/anti-SE docs on
request.

If anyone's interested in checking out a few rareities from +27, there're a few
locally produced copper-cable monitoring systems called MINIDAS-800
and SECDAS-800 (default password: 1234), starting at:

+27 80 020-3294 [Within .za, replace the country code with 0]

There were a few hundred available last time I checked properly. (2002/03)
