So I'm guessing the trick is to not get a 404 page, right?

I got a 404, but the call went through anyway (though the charming robot lady kept talking for a while after she said my spiel). YM, of course, MV.

Huh. I get a 404 from StickyCarpet's link. Not even given the chance to make any sort of call. Huh.

This is a free service, where the paid version can be longer and doesn't have the spiel.

(which may include your ip address, so if it's a ransom message, do it at the library.)

Now you tell me.

I got 4 identical calls. Very handy for when I can't find my phone and want to make it ring.
