Plain Old Telephone Service?

Despite the rapid proliferation of cellular phone usage all over the globe, the majority of people on planet earth still communicate with the outside world the old fashioned way: with plain Old telephone service (POTS). This might seem amazing to the growing numbers of Americans who are abandoning their wired home phone service, opting to go with their cell phones and/or VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) computer phones. Considering the breathtaking advances in other forms of communication technologies, it is quite remarkable how little basic analog telephone service has changed since its inception and early growth. Initially the system involved translating a caller’s voice into analog signals, or electrical impulses, which travelled over a network of copper wires to the receiver of the call. Along the way, the signals passed through a variety of “switching” centers, moving the call along the network towards its destination. Today the system also uses digital signals and switching centers are now computerized, but the basic core of the technology remains the same. Computerization did lead to some advancements which have carried over into the more modern world of cellular and VOIP transmission. Back in the day, if the person you were calling wasn’t there, you were simply out of luck. Calling back later was your only option, but then came telephone answering machines and all that changed. Today answering machines are still in use and hardly anyone would not agree that they have been a welcome improvement in telephone communication. But then came voice mail, or Voice Message Exchange (VMX), as it was originally called. It was patented by a man named Gordon Mathews and certainly seemed like a good idea at the time. With it a caller could do much more than leave a simple message. As computer technology improved voice mail systems got more complicated, with more and more option menus, many of which included voice recognition software. The end result can be a confusing electronically induced maze of complicated consternation to a massive number of callers. Jokes about voice mail menus abound, with one of the latest being “Your Call Will Be Ignored in the Order in Which It Was Received”! Indeed, right before he died, the system’s creator, Gordon Mathews, complained that “we didn’t design this technology to annoy people, but rather to make their lives easier.” An important lesson can be drawn from voice mail systems. Any technology can lead to undesirable consequences if misused and abused by those who implement it.

If a lady text a man and says on the text message No Text could that be her way of saying to call her instead without her making it obvious and just telling you to call?

It means no text. She might not have texting. 20 cents a message gets expensive. ANSWER It could be that she is getting his attention, she would not have text him, if there was no text.... if it happens again I would be keeping my eyes open. do you know this lady?... is it your o/f or husband that got this text?... could help if we knew a little more about Who got the Text.. can you explain more.
