Dialling M for mischief

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

We had a phone call yesterday morning, from what turned out be a slightly puzzled friend.  She’d been intrigued by an unusual recording left on her answer-phone, and had decided to try and find out a little more by using BT’s “last-number-recall” feature to dial the last incoming number.

So she didn’t know who she was calling when she rang us, but I recognised her voice and first name and was able to fill her in.

Which brought us to the next question – who had called her from our number the day before?  A memory suddenly sprang to mind.  Of walking into the lounge – to check on Jonathan who was being suspiciously quiet – and finding him completely and utterly engrossed with our cordless telephone which he had liberated from the edge of the kitchen counter!

I had quickly whisked the phone away from Jon and hadn’t realised that he’d actually called anyone at the time.  But sure enough, using the history button (which was the same trick Jon had used!), the matching number was right there at the top of the list!

If you’re wondering, apparently the message was “quiet, and breathy”… :P
