I wrote a script in SpiderMonkey to place a call, and upon connct turn on vmd, play a "press 1" prompt to see if there is a human, and then play some more prompts. If a voicemail beep is heard it starts playing a different prompt. I tested this with almost 300 phone numbers, but I suspect a disproportionate number of these are cell phones. Among the calls not answered by a human (nobody pressed 1), about 60% of the calls failed to recognize a beep. My cell phone is T-Mobile, and it doesn't detect the beep for it. </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"><span id=""></span>On 1/8/09, Adam Wilt <<a href="mailto:wiltingtree@gmail.com">wiltingtree@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> > Hi, I have two issues I'd appreciate some help with.<br>><br>> A) I'm testing VMD and I'm getting a success rate of well under 50%.
