I have an idea on how to fight back against robots answering the phone. It will involve a little computer programming and a good VOIP account to afford the pennies per call. Once it is off the ground I reckon the apps writers will have versions for the tablets and cellphones in both fruit and regular. The concept is rather simple and I got the idea from a line in Rob Roy, "I will have my factor call on your factor". Common variations are familiar where the leets will have their people talk to your people. Your phone will call their phone. Your phone will also be managed by a robot voice. Your program will try all options and offer a variety of responses in random languages and accents when asked. It will try all press button options in turn and return to the menu to start over as required. The key to success for your robot will be its ability to detect genuine breathing at the other end of the phone call. Once it has affirmed this it will deliver the following recorded message. "Hello, my robot has been calling your robot and has now detected life at your end. To confirm that you are in fact breathing and are located in Australia please answer the following simple question. Who is the Prime Minister of Australia? Press 1 for Julia Gillard. Press 2 for Tony Abbott Press 3 for Malcolm Turnbull Press 4 for none of the above. Your robot returns to the menu question if the response is incorrect and tries an even easier one to give the breather another go. Once your robot determines that there is an Australian breather on the other end it delivers this message. "Hello, when you get a break from assisting other customers I would be obliged if you could call me at 09 1234 5678. I will be available to answer the phone between 9am and 9:10am most days, school holidays and saints days excepted."
