And when calling an 800 number with a recorded message, it is
EXTREMELY important not to forget to hang up! Don't set the phone
down while doing an urgent task, such as mowing the lawn, or
taking a nap. 800 number owners are charged by the minute, and
not all of them know how to terminate a phone call automatically.
This has been a public service announcement.
