Wonderful. Now Deutsche Telekom is spamming me through my voice mailbox. I got home to a message on the phone saying something about a "Gewinnenspiel" (Prize Game).
I already hate the bleeping thing. If I didn't have a mother who loved to talk to it (and tell me who is in the room with her while she talks to it) because I'm not home all that often, I'd probably get rid of it. If somebody calls but doesn't leave a message, it records that as a "message" anyway and will keep calling ME to tell me I have messages (yes, it calls YOU). And it starts calling within five minutes of the person calling me. Which is really annoying if you've JUST missed the person and called them back. Because the TNet box decides to call you in the middle of that call. And will keep calling even if you hit reject. It seems to know just when you've gotten home too. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to call in the middle of the night to inform you of your non-existant messages.
Oh, and I loved how they changed their menu a few months back. The number 7 used to delete messages. Now it's used to automatically dail the number back - for a charge of course!

Posted by: Janine at July 7, 2004 03:48 AMHi Anna!
My parents had the same problem with their T-Net-Box: They constantly got called, even at the most inconvienient times. Until they found out that you're able to switch this call-back feature off. Thank God! In that case - in case you own a Telekom phone, that is - only a blinking LED will notify you of incoming messages. Give it a go.
Good luck,
Ken
Hi !
Love your site :) I too get the same problems with a Gewinspiel every now or then.. though they aren't looking for me. More so, the former owner of the place. Each time it's "Oh, you're not so and so.. Well, I got the number off the internet!" Ha, like the internet doesn't lie ;) Will be stopping back again soon!
