When someone calls and you dont pick up, they have to sit through a 30-60 second advertisement, which reduces your phone bill.

This would also help cut down on all those annoying messages that people leave on your voicemail. |
|
| |
Why would they bother to sit through advertising when they could just curse you and (maybe) try later? On the other hand, ideas like this have a certain inevitability to them. |
|
| |
yes it is inevitable to happen. but do you want it to be forced on you or given as an option to lower your bill? |
|
| |
Um, I guess "forced on me" is the default, so I'll take that. I wouldn't volunteer to have callers consider me evil or stupid in order to save a few bucks. |
|
| |
I'll try to keep a little self-respect until it is all taken away from me by Satanic media conglomerates. |

Of course, ironfroggy's idea is that by agreeing to have this eartorture on your voicemail, your phone company would discount your service. But that's not really how it would reduce your phone bill... |
|
| |
THAT would happen because you would no longer have any friends, colleagues or customers. |
|
| |
That seems mostly illogical unless you intentionally ignore phone calls from friends, colleagues or customers. |
|
| |
I would say this would be quite the opposite of inevitable as nobody would sit through this and it would do the advertisers no good. |
|

HiddenTruths: Perhaps I was not clear; one's friends, colleagues and customers would simply give up on you for having abused them so. |
