Hello. If you'd like to speak with JamesTheJerk, please press one. If you're a scam caller, please press two and a representative will be with you "shortly".
Most people can practically quote the extended warranty one, or the IRS one, etc.
Organisations often call from private numbers and use autodialers which often causes the caller to just ask for your name before they even attempt to identify themselves. They claim its to protect privacy, but I put it to you that it's devious behaviour and designed to obfuscate their identity while expecting you to divulge yours.
I know I take particular issue with things like this with my Adhd, but I just don't see how this is respectful to your privacy or professional conduct.
So, these organisations should be made to disclose who they are before asking for personal information such as your name. They should also understand how the call is made and introduce themselves professionally, rather than just saying "hello" "is x there". Typically when you make a phone call you proactively introduce who you are and why you are calling before you expect the other party to respond.
Change my view.
I'm working a call center job from home, and just wondering if there's a way once I log into ThruTalk, to make it seem like I'm active but not receive any (or fewer) calls. I'm fairly certain this is a pipe dream, but a guy can dream...
Download an auto-dialer like this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.lithiums.autodialer
Enter one of the numbers listed in the sidebar:
- (800) 300-5616
- (833) 978-2511
And add the following to the number: ,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2,4 (that's about 27 ',' between 1 and 2. They count as pauses)
Example: (833) 978-2511,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2,4
This will autodial the number each time you are hung up on as well as auto input the prompts.
So I tried a shortcut to call EDD —>

PROBLEM: Dictate won’t work with the phone calls, is there any way around this?
P.S. Unemployment is the test word but should be changed for the actual shortcut! (Also in the case this is a horrible idea, I would like to add the fact that this is my first time doing this kinda stuff)
that three tone sequence you hear when you call a disconnected number is part of an international standard made so that people and machines can understand a call has failed without understanding the language of the number they dialed.
if you start your voicemail with the intercept code you can trick autodialers into thinking it's a dead number so they remove you from their list.
Wikipedia has examples of all of them that you can download and use.
also, donate to Wikipedia. it's a really important resource.
(resubmitted without wikipedia link) :(
Customers have been on boarded and explained where they go for assistance and who to reach out for. This does not stop them from using the autodialer to reach almost any department to ask a ticket related question. How can this be fixed?
I was tested Wednesday in Edmonton and I’m waiting for the results. I was wondering if the autodialer leaves a message if it gets your voicemail. I kind of want it to be recorded, just incase I need it for my employer.
Update: They said they were doing about 2-4 days for results when I got swabbed. I got the call on Friday (<48hrs) and I was negative. I ended up recording the message with an old phone. You have to push a button saying it’s you and then that you received the message, so they won’t leave anything on a message.
TL;DR: Meet Thomas Snoke. A man who until now rarely saw past the redundancy of late night shift duty. For him, life existed in the form of clustered packets of data relegated to a stream of uninterrupted patterns in the mind's eye.
On this shift, Thomas will receive a message from a different reality, one that will prove that randomness offers solace from pattern.
Thomas will receive a welcome from a guest independent of time, presence, and rules of engagement by themselves in the form of what is commonly known as Autodialer Hell.

1:30am Time to do night audit. This is the Logan's Run, the gauntlet, The 13.1. The Miracle Mile. Nothing gets in the way until it's done.
1:33 am I get a call from a Grovelscape. Calls take a backseat to this routine, the drill is all.
2:07 am Night audit run. Unit is filed with the others.
2:12 am Another call. From Grovelscape. Finally I answer one in my tone upon which I hear-
a beep.
I hang up.
2:25 am This damn Grovelscape keeps calling.
2:57 am Four times this hour. I know how we Night managers all feel about these third party bookers as a whole- yup.
3:02 am I go about the business of checking in house and such.
3:16 am Another call from Grovelscape. Fuck you beep. I'm ignoring you.
3:29 am And again.
3:42 am Again.
3:58 am Yet again.
4:14 am And, again.
.............
4:32 am I answer one more time.
BEEEEEP

4:54 am I relay this to a resident guest Lind who remarks "it's one of those autodialers. Lucky break."
Unlike me, he can leave- and he does for his smoke.
5:03 am The phone rings. It's GS. You're a fucking automaton. You have no pulse. Stop it.
5:15 am sigh You again. Why do you bother?
5:31 am As I'm checking the third guest of the morning out GS calls again. As I flash hang up, I see their facial expression- "did he just hang up on someone?"
No, it's fucking autodial. No accountability. How do you threaten someone with zero accountability?
What a perfect fucking system, actually.
They're no longer listed on their site and they haven't responded to my requests to see if they'll be coming back.
Got one laying around you aren't using? Hit me up and let's talk!
Edit: In addition, if you know of anything else in pedal format that takes envelope follower signal and passes it through while outputting CV/Expression, let me know, please.
Edit 2: CoPilot FX did get back to me eventually, he's still making these by request.
I've tried a few ways to set this up, but nothing is quite working the way I need it to. Right now the best I have is an autoREdialer:
Profile -> Call Outgoing to (unemployment number), Exit task (call unemployment number)
It's sufficient, but I'd much prefer to have the phone place the call every 2 minutes unless another call is already in progress or I'm using a couple select apps, however I wasn't even able to keep the phone from redialing if I was already on the phone.
I'd also like to have it set speakerphone to ON, but even though I have that as part of the action to place the new phone call, it doesn't trigger.
Hi Everyone!
Remember me? I have the inground floorsafe in my garage. I know OP is the worst! But I got busy with work and other stuff. But I finally had the correct parts come in and was able to finish the robot design. In case you don't remember here's the link to my first post.
There were some setbacks. 1) I needed an additional sensor to figure out if the dial popped back up or not. 2) My arduino shield needed to be upgraded to use the new sensor. 3) the sensor didn't fit in my rig.
So I overcame all of these obstacles. Found the perfect sensor, recoded my arduino for the new shield and then fabricated a metal ring that slips over the guides on the robot.
So this video is of the demo code I've created to test all aspects.
Clip of Completed Mechanical Design
So the next two steps are just coding. I need to populate an excel spreadsheet of all possible combinations (there are far fewer than 1,000,000 do to a huge number of things that I can't remember if I discussed in previous posts). And then calibrating the dialer so that it knows what 2,4,6...10...50 are. Since there are 100 digits (and for other reasons talked about elsewhere) I only need 50 'stops' so that's pretty easy. Just need 3'oclock 6'oclock and 9'oclock to calibrate and then divide those up.
Concerns:
-
Melting the stepper motor
-
The stepper motor slipping and losing calibration
-
Needing to add a coding ring (which the metal disc I fabricated may be. I have a "line finder" sensor that may work perfectly...if I even need it.)
Sorry for the long wait. As long as "Processing" (the arduino coding language) will let me process a huge csv file of combos and send them one by one to the Arduino, I should be able to get this thing autodialing relatively quickly. OP WILL DELIVER
I work for a hospital that has 7 outpatient sites. We're looking for a product or service that will call patients to remind them of their appointment and do the whole "press 1 if you'd like to cancel or change your appointment."
Any of you using these things and are you happy with them?
Looking for some advice (please not too much negativity) from people that do inside sales on an automated dialer where you really don't get a choice of who you call. Been at my job for 3 months now with two weeks of training. For us our job is to cold call, schedule demo, show demonstration and then make the sale. Our software is pretty good its just hard to get people to take a look at it because they're so used to our competitors.
Been at my job for 3 months now with two weeks of training on the product. This is my first real sales job as my last one was more of order taking than selling. Which sucks is most people have years of sales experience where I don't have much. I know some people may tell me to get out because everything is done on an automated dialer but the job is doable as there are some reps here who get lots of sales. I know this isn't a good start for someone just getting into sales but what are some tips you guys have besides get out? Could really use some help.
I am working on a combination lock autodialer that can determine simple combination lock (40 number) combination by brute force using known manufacturing vulnerabilities. Obviously these locks are low to no security (just keep the honest people honest), but I wanted to do this as a proof of concept and just because.
The prototype is extremely crude since I am in the beginning stages of testing.
So far is works pretty well.
This consists of the following: Arduino clone Mega2560 L298 based dual channel motor controller Stepper motor (9 degree steps) 20x2 LCD 3 momentary push-buttons (reset, scroll and enter) 4049 bounceless switch circuit Linear actuator (designed for automotive locks) Cherry switch with hisker
Upon startup, the LCD instructs the user to do a couple of tests on the lock to determine the best starting point. The user presses the enter button. The LCD then gives a list of options based on the results of the test. The user presses the scroll button until the correct option is selected on the LCD. The user then presses enter to make the selection. The LCD then instructs the user to install the lock in the apparatus and dial it to the zero mark. Once complete, the user presses the enter button and the process begins.
It runs through a methodically reduced set of possible combinations (based on the test performed earlier). After each combo is tested, the actuator attempts to open the shackle. If unsuccessful, it moves on to the next number. If successful, the open shackle is detected by the whisker cherry switch and the combo is displayed on the LCD and the process remains at idle.
It will take this thing up to 45 minutes to try all possible combinations before it gives up.
I have a lot more work ahead of me, but it works!
For this lock, the actual combination is 22, 04, 26 and the autodialer gave the combo 22.5, 2.5, 26.5 after about 25 minutes of running (which also works). The divergence is due to the sloppiness of the lock design (again, these locks provide little to no real security anyway).
Here is a link to a video showing the startup
Looking for someone to build me a voip autodialer. Don't care what software it uses, asterisk, pbx what ever. I need it to be able to call places, and just leave voicemails automatically.
This could work on python, you can use Google voice somehow, I don't care lol I just need a way to leave a pre-recorded message on every voicemail in a list of numbers on a CSV file.
The closest idea is Callfire but I don't want to spend 5 cents per minute. Ideally an unlimited voip plan would be amazing.
Send me a chat with your ideas and solutions.
I was tested Wednesday in Edmonton and I’m waiting for the results. I was wondering if the autodialer leaves a message if it gets your voicemail. I kind of want it to be recorded, just incase I need it for my employer.
