Is this just someone putting the phone down, or is there something more sinister?
a computer swichboard dials say 50 numbers and the first to be picked up is the one that gets spoken to by a human. The rest are just either hung up by the computer or by the person who picks up. Ive tried explaining this to my grandma at least 20 times lol!! Siilly beggar still shouts a swear word to the silence!! Shes 76!! She shocks even me sometimes lol!!
