Hello Telecom Users:
Last night, I went to Ely Center at Gallaudet University. There are
the two pay phone booths on the wall. I tried to call to 1-800-855-1155
and put handle on TDD. I get "MAY I HELP YOU Q GA" message. I collect
from 202 area code to call to 412 area code. A girl tried to call to
the same phone number on other pay phone booth while I get complete
dailing to 412 area code. Then, both TDD conflcted and put garbled messages
on my tdd and her tdd the same time! What happened or line problems?
I will show you that time suquence for both phones:
Pay Phone #1 Pay Phone #2
------------ ------------
I dialed to 1-800-855-1155 - null -
"OPR NBR MAY I HELP YOU Q GA" - null -
I collected from 202-544-8979 - null -
call to 412-xxx-xxxx.
"THANK YOU PLS HOLD" She dailed to 1-800-855-1155
(Completed dailing) (Completed connect to OPR)
"XEBREHJD&SWNXSBSSGH" "SVVVSFGEUUHJSGBVBVBSTY"
(Hung up, I tried to call (Hung up, She tried dial
again.) again.)
-- It results the same above! --
(Hung up, wait...) (Hung up, She tried dial
again.)
(I dialed again) "OPR NBR MAY I HELP YOU Q GA"
(No ringing or no busy signal!)
I believe that both crashed lines! What happened????
