During the course of a day the system may give us messages. Typically nobody is home during the day on those days. If it is Thursday and school is in session, Adam receivers a reminder to bring his library book back to school. These are just a few of the messages we may hear. We also have reminders played on a daily basis.
Reminders are for things like birthdays coming up, dentist appointments, etc.
Phone service is controlled by ECSW and a Zoom modem. All callers are announced. If they are trying to sell us something they may as well hang up. I have been amazed at the efforts the solicitors will go to. I have logged calls from the same place from 2 different lines, out side caller, and private one right after the other.
