I called.  It's a voice announcement giving a non-free number to call
for further information.  I called the 800# above five times to make
sure there was no DTMF menu that would let me talk to a real person.

If everybody within the sound of my voice calls five times, it would
cost these people a hell of a lot of money.  I can't recommend that
kind of behaviour since it would probably constitute harrassment.  It
would definitely cost these people a lot of money, too.  We would not
want to have 5,000 of us call them five times each since that would be
25,000 calls and "800" numbers are very expensive to maintain.  So,
please don't all of you call them five times each, OK?
