[asterisk-users] "The number you have called has been disconnected or is no longer in service"

[Cary Fitch]

I don't think the telemarketers care about them.  Right now we get thousands
of "Car warranty" phone calls everyday, now for months, and given that they
are illegally war dialing cell phone numbers, I don't think they listen for
the Special Information Tones.

Special Information Tone.

In Asterisk, the Zapateller application is used to generate this.
