Why can't I just call someone, a business, on the phone? Why can't they just pick up the phone and say "Hello?"
I was at church when the phone in the office began to ring. No one else around so I picked it up. Heard nothing. Said "Hello?"
No response.
There were about twenty buttons on the front of the phone. Four of them were grouped at the top. None of them said "Talk". I turned to look on the side. There was a PTT, which in other circumstance I recognized as "Push To Talk", which I did.
Nothing.
Next time at the church the office assistant was there, asked him how to answer the phone. Well, of the four buttons on the upper part of the phone, you need to push "phone". I turned the phone on the side, showed him the PTT button. Do you know what PTT means?
No.
Why can't you just pick up the phone and have someone answer with "Hello?"
