Q19: I have subscribed to the telephone alert premium service. Sometimes I notice a few seconds pause before I hear the message. What could be the reason?
A: When we send out the telephone alerts, there could be a delay of 5-10 seconds before you start hearing the computerized alert (e-voice) message on your phone. This delay is introduced so that it works with all kinds of phones -- cell phones or normal ones. Sometimes people confuse this and hangup thinking that it was a blank call and miss out an important conditional offer or reconfirmation alert. Please make sure that you do not hangup and give a few seconds pause after receiving any incoming call on your telephone.
