• Hey Guest,

    We wanted to share a quick update with the community.

    Our public expense ledger is now live, allowing anyone to see how donations are used to support the ongoing operation of the site.

    Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

    If you value the community and would like to help support its continued operation, donations are greatly appreciated. If you wish to donate via Bank Transfer or other options, please open a ticket.

what do you mean by caller ID? me dumdum

589
Like on cell phones, you can see if it's a contact of yours or what number is calling. It's just automatically built in. But on actual answering machines which are on actual landline lines which nobody has anymore lol it was a big thing when they started

Namelesas shocked face is her imagining a world without caller ID/joke

I remember that during that time, the availability of caller id also depended on the type of line that the caller had. I was secretly mad at some friends for not having upgraded yet such that I could tell it was them who called being the control freak that I am. Maybe I also knew it was that friend because he stood out by not having caller id shown yet. I don't remember though...

We still have landlines here :-) But they are VOIP now. I miss the old dialtone melodies at the start of each call though.

New strategy of the girls: Make GlassMoon dive into technical nostalgia and score 10 posts while he writes one :-)

Do you still have a landline? I don't know about where you are but here are so many people are ditching them because they have cell phones. We kept ours because there is at least a few people who will only call that number.

Yes I do. It's actually useful because you can be reached during the night in emergencies when the cell phones are off. Also, people don't have to decide whom to call. Just call the whole household!

Sometimes I'm not even sure how to work mine lol. I accidentally hung up on someone once because I went to press the button that would be to end a call on my cell.

Yes, when you hear a landline ring at night, you know there is some sort of horrible emergency
