Called a couple of times on Sunday mornings. The first time they called the caller ID said Privacy Manager. The second time they called the caller ID said Take A Message. No message was left either time they called.
Don't want Privacy Manager calls, here is a little hack you can use:
You probally have this in your package:
SELECTIVE CALL FORWARDING
First dial *63 Selective Call Forwarding Service
Follow the instructions
Enter the number to which you want your calls forwarded to.
Enter 590-0010 or 210-590-0010
Press # followed by the phone number of Privacy Manager, and Take a Message (if applicable)
When someone tries to record their name so Privacy Manager can announce the call they won't ring through, instead they will get the message "Your Party is Unavailable, please try your call again later."
Alternatively you can use *60 Call block.
What does 590-0010 go to? A recording that says the call you have made requires an initial deposit.
Back in the days Southwestern Bell Telephone would route calls to phone numbers for operator recordings for telephone subscribers in the FRATT exchange, the FRATT exchange serves Salado Creek and Austin Hwy to I-35 and the Universal City line, google wire center. These recordings are still in tact, they start with 210-590-00xx. Some have been assigned to customers, some haven't.
Southwestern Bell payphones in the FRATT exchange like the payphones once served by them on Thousand Oaks and Perrin Beitel Taco Cabana when a customer didn't deposit coins in the payphone, the payphone (instead of the computer generated message) would dial 210-590-0010, if the circuits were busy it would automatically dial another number 210-590-00xx, if a customer had to dial 1 first, then it would dial another 210-590-00xx number. I will post these on YouTube this week. I stumbled across these when I was in High School and dialing BBS lines. The Worst Show BBS was my favorite that one was in the Culebra exchange 210-680-xxxx.
