Title: call back
Post by: LinLin on Jul 29, 2010, 08:27:03
Is there a certain combo (like *59) to call back the last person who called me on my idnet phone line? I don't have their number.

1471 will give you the number as long as it is not withheld.

Ah, but does anyone know WHY it is 1471?!

Because if you dial something else, it doesn't work  :P

Because the numbers are in a vertical line, and therefore, easy to remember?  :dunno:

Because that isn't 4 digits, and it would be too easy.  :P

Great Niall, one of my favourite episodes  :karma:
