Setting up a speed dial

Post by Jake »

While I was messing around with my PBX today I decided to put in a speedial for the kids to dial my wife's mobile.

After a bit of thinking what would be best I choses for them to dial MOM on the phone, which would then call her mobile. As I was putting it in the dial plan I realised what I had done. Now the kids dial 666 for Mom :twisted: It took me quite a while to stop chuckling to myself as I hit the save button :D

You're quite the devilish one aren't you! lol :D

That's absolutely hilarious though and a nice find. I suppose you could always spell it "MUM" for 686 or something if you wanted to get around it!

Funny you should say that, as I am from the UK so normally I would spell it Mum. I still don't completely agree with the way some words are used over here, but when in Rome... Football is one I don't think I will conform to though. I just can't make myself call it soccer no matter how hard I try, or how many beers I drink while watching it :shock:

I left the speed dial as it is, it makes me smile, and it is easier for the kids to remember.
