off topic, but you can't be a Schadenfreude, you can only experience or have Schadenfreude

So if you claim to be a Schadenfreude, does that make you a Schadenfraud?

Incorrect method 3:

Unless you are the ex-girlfriend/boyfriend. Then it is allowable.

Re:Verizon

On: Call Someone – Without Having To Talk To Them

Works on AT&T as well (same procedure as described for Verizon).

I found that this can also be done from a landline as well.
When I dial my voicemail (with speedial 1) I noticed that it isn't dialing my cell #, but rather some other number. I though that was strange, because with my previous phone I always dialed my own number to get my VM (which still works on my new phone BTW).
Dialing this "other number" from a landline gets you into the VM system and prompts you for the 10 digit mailbox number.
