So I am sitting in my home in Hong Kong and the phone rings about 6.00 pm. I am busy so we say "let the voicemail take it". As is usual with PCCW after the four or five rings, it stops, then about 30 seconds later gives the two rings to indicate that whoever it was left a message.
An hour later when I checked my message, it was twilight zone stuff. I heard a recording of my conversation in the room where I was seated about five metres from the phone, at the time of the call, and shortly thereafter. My voice and that of the other person had been recorded and logged as a voicemail.
I am aware that there is software around that can do this, but it is usually only available to government agencies.
Should I speak to those nice gentlemen in the black Surburbans on the road opposite or should I speak to crew control? I really think we should be told.
