ANSWERS BY BELL
A new telephone call answering service, which permits callers to leave
a message if you're not home, takes messages even when your phone is
busy, and requires no equipment purchase, has become available for
Philadelphia residents. Bell of Pennsylvania is introducing Answer
Call, giving touch- tone telephone users voice-message capabilities.
Customers can check their voice "mailbox" by dialing a special access
number and their personal password.
Any telecom readers use this service provided by Bell of PA? Comments?
