The FCC number has apparently been updated

[thebruce]

ok, firstly, pressing 0 takes you to the menu, with the ability to list off the available extensions:
1 - "Extension 1" (no answer when I tried)
998 - "EXHALO" (the initial message played when first calling)
33 - "if a woman answers hang up" (no answer)
6454 - "messages from nikki" (no answer)
999 - "ring central voicemail" (didn't bother)
37 - "ring central VOIP" (didn't bother)
0 - "Thomas Marquez" (no answer)
88 - "test(?) fax" (didn't bother)
44 - "Thomas" (no answer)
2 - "(?) general voicemail" (didn't bother)

My guess is that those are the extensions in use with that 800 number, people who have 'licensed' the right to use it, and are oog.. could be wrong, but that's my guess - and EXHALO at the moment is the one we want.

Listening to the audio from that message, it sounds like there are a few recordings overlaying each other from the start. Just after the portion where the Ring Central promo lady says "essential communications tools in on place at a low price", it sounds like 2 of our FCC friends are quietly chatting in the background. I really want a recording of this to try to bring out what they're saying. All I can make out on the phone is guy 1 saying somthing up to "--ocket", and guy 2 says something; there may be more, but the promo overpowers it all.

For some reason my Skype won't let me connect to the # from my "calling area" (probably knows I'm in Canada by my IP), but my cell can connect just fine. So I'm stuck for recording. Anyone else want to give it a shot?


edit: it's Tom's VOIP account, not a reference to VOI

So this IS still Iris related?

I'm still on the ropes on this one. It was brought up in CI that it could be a call center in the background. Which could be very true. I'm leaning towards OOG but not completly.

the background voices near the beginning do sound very much like the FCC guys. I hear no background sound other than those two at the beginning; the rest is all ringcentral promo (even the sound effects) right to the end.
It's hard for me to pass it off as entirely oog... it might be, but my decision rests on what we can pull from those background voices.

37 - "ring central VOI (?)" (didn't bother)
0 - "Thomas Marquez" (no answer)

Voi is supposed to be a area in africa where a halo 3 level takes place, and thomas marquez isnt the person who wrote all those amazon comments is he?

Edit - oh no thats thomas santos but the other thomas mentioned could be

[thebruce]

no that's Thomas Sanatos. Marquez is generally considered at this point out of game, as with all the extensions except the default (listed as 998-exhalo) - at least, IMO, its content is inconclusive at this point, so its validity is in limbo.
can no one get a freakin recording? hehe

Here's a recording of the primary message:

well, it's now unavailable entirely for me. Couldn't get it in skype, but could on my cell. Now my home line is reporting 'unavailable from my calling area', as well as my cell. If it's OOG, I think they're catching on and making sure the # is entirely deactivated.

[grey101]

well its still the same talking about ring central
