Government and commercial only – must have a person answer the phone and NOT put it on hold for more than 30 seconds.

I think there must be, because I’ve heard of warning systems that can call your house if a tornado was heading to your immediate neighborhood. So, certainly systems like this, that are designed to contact a lot of people in a community very quickly because of an emergency situation, don’t just call one number, then wait for the call to end, then call another. So, I’m thinking that some new technological advancements have been invented that DO allow more than one phone number to be called at exactly the same time. I would guess that it’s something really new, that’s only been around for about three years or so. Am I right that this technology does exist now?

BT asked:


I’d appreciate an answer to this or if you can direct me to any site that deals with this it would be great too. I’ve got a small business of about 40 people and I want to install a telephone system such that people from outside would call a single number and my machine would ask for an extension to connect them to the person they’re calling. I’m thinking of using Asterisk for this, but my question is, what do I actually need to get from the phone company? 40-50 telephone lines? or is that what they call T1, T3, etc? I just want to be better informed so when the time comes to talk to the phone company I can make an informed decision. Thanks guys.

So they can unlawfully threaten, harass, or intimidate with impunity.
This actually requires that special circuitry be installed in the recording equipment, incurring additional cost on the consumer.

How Brownshirt is that?

Boogie Mann asked:


Most businesses have some sort of automation in their telephone system. Some answer the phone, others route the call based on the caller’s input (press [1] for this; [2] for that), yet others present caller requested data (bank-by-phone, informational hotlines, etc.) Do they all have to sound so poorly, and must they be so user-unfriendly? They never seem to offer the menu choice you called for. Have you heard any that are particularly awful…or worthy of congratulations for a job well done? Let us know.
