Hi,


This is about as good as I have managed to find too .

It is nice when the remote party hanging up returns you to the announcement
but sadly it doesn't always work... depends on the system the remote party
is using / what type of exchange they are connected to ... etc. I.e.
sometimes you can be left connected listening to the remote party hung-up
tone followed by silence, followed by LOUD warning tone warble (and no
return to announcement)

There are definitely service providers out their with the follow on call
feature (where you dial a particular digit or string to return to the
announcement) - but I cannot find any of these on 0845 access numbers (or
find their old 0845 access numbers that are probably still live) - they all
seem to be the more modern 0844 type.

Still... all good / etc.

Thanks and all input welcomed.


Best wishes,
