I Screened a Phone Call from John Kerry (Yes, That John Kerry)

[Techie2000]

I'm on school break, my cell phone woke me up with an unfamiliar number, so I hit the voicemail button and went back to sleep. When I checked my voicemail, it was US Sen. John Kerry. Grr.

OMG!!!!!!!!



More details please! Was it really him or a robocall?

 

[Techie2000]

It was in fact really him. Not a robocall. I guess he was helping out Niki Tsongas in the Massachusetts fifth for the special election, so he was calling people to ask to help out, and thank young people for their involvement in the party. I wish I could figure out how to make it an MP3 because otherwise Sprint deletes voicemails after 60 days.

That's awesome


I don't care what people say I still have love in my heart for John Kerry.

Could you play the voicemail into a microphone? Quality may not be stellar but it might work.

 

[Techie2000]

Hrmm, maybe. I'm trying to see if I can find a "better" way though...

If you have a tape recorder, you can go to RadioShack and buy a jack to connect the phone (must have a handset) to the mic port of the recorder. Call your voice mail number, press record and there you go.

There are also ways to record onto your computer but I'm not slick enough for that. You do still need the recording jack, though.

Wow that's cool that it wasn't a robocall, all I got was robocalls. Niki Tsongas won, I voted for her.

yep, this is a really easy way to do it. it's how we tape phone conversations at work. (it's one of those "this call may be monitored..." things, we're not spying on employees, i swear!)

i'd love to hear what he said to you, techie

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Should have caught the call in time, and called him a douchebag for screwing up the last election.
