Re: Re: PHP & Text Messaging

Yeah, but unfortunately, in the United States, you have to alert someone when you're recording a telephone conversation. On 4/26/07, Tijnema ! <tijnema@gmail.com> wrote:

A good old O.T. thread. :-) A few months back I was trying to weed some information out of Rogers and Fido, but several times I was told conflicting information each

time

I called. Finally I made an audio patch cable to connect my MP3 player/recorder

to

the phone and then proceeded to call Rogers again. The conversation went something like this: -Voice mail system: "Thank you for calling Rogers Wireless. Please

stay

on the line and our next available agent will help you. Note that

your

call may be monitored and recorded for quality assurance and training purposes"... music-on-hold... -Customer support: "Thank you for calling Rogers, my name is Bob, may

I

have your phone number starting with the area code?" -Me: "I'm just letting you know that this call will be monitored and recorded for quality assurance purposes" *click* MP3 recorder starts recording.... -Customer support: "Umm.... okay...." The patch cable was designed so I could also play back audio into the phone, just in case they tried pulling a "we never said that" denial. Fortunately, in that conversation where I announced it was being recorded, the customer service guy never lied to me even once. Funny how that works out.

You could better not tell them you are recording, and when they are saying "we never said that" then you just play it back :) Tijnema
