FOLLOW UP: I contacted my phone company (PacBellSBCAT&T) and after
the usual voice mail maze, the nice lady said there should be no
problem if I just plug in an older rotary pulse phone.

I call it menu hell.

I was trying to get the social security office this week and I had to
call 4 times before I picked a combo of menu options that did not play
an self help option and then hang up.

Start with zero pound. That was the escape from the old ROLM systems
and a lot of companies adopted the standard. You get an operator
usually.

One who transfers you to someone's voicemail.
