This might be the sound. They are more like beeps than I remember,
but not quite. I guess I haven't gotten this for a long time.

About 3/4's of the time I misdial, I get a number not in service, so
it should be easy enough to do that on purpose and hear the current
tone.

Wow, here's the same thing from GTE. She sounds a lot cuter. I'm
going to try to switch my service to GTE.

But the tones sound alike, so t hey must be agreed on.

In 2012 btw, so maybe this all still works.

But I quoted her here.

Here's the answer to all our prayers. Telemarketers almost
exclusively use "autodialers" to make their calls. One out of a
thousand will have live reps doing the dialing. When these dialers
connect (you answer the phone) they listen for any "tones" generated.
If no "tones" are detected they then transfer the call to one of the
reps in a call center. "IF" the autodialer hears the 3 beeps from

-- I wouldn't call them beeps. I think they were like oooeeeooo.
And I don't know which sound on that page is the one you want, because
I'm too in a hurry to read them all. Let us know which is the right
one. --

dialing a "DISCONNECTED" number, the number that was just dialed is
automatically "REMOVED" from their list. Below is a link that has
this "tone" plus the verbal message. You DO NOT need the verbal
message. Download or copy the "DISCONNECTED" MP3 or WAV file to your
desktop. Create or change the greeting you have when someone calls
you and you're not available. At the VERY BEGINNING of your message
place the 3 tones (NOT THE VOICE MESSAGE) then continue with your
usual or normal greeting. The autodialer will hear the tones and
BINGO, your number will be removed since they think it's a
disconnected number. DONE. In a few weeks you will be removed from
all the lists. Of course you may have to explain the tones to the
callers you DO want to speak to but that's a small tradeoff. Pass
this info on to anyone you know that gets junk calls or even help post
this on these websites. GET RID OF JUNK / SPAM CALLS.
