I blame outdated and overloaded telecommunications infrastructure

[marsden_online]

I was roused from sleep at 3am by my phone buzzing to let me know I had a voice-mail message. 3am. I was worried, assuming I had just slept through an urgent call.

The timestamp on the message was Thursday afternoon last week! Fortunately it wasn't anything too important.

I have developed a new hypothesis as to why my phone has started ringing instead of vibrating first, or even missing calls altogether. Because the call signals aren't being sent to it until it's almost or after time for the mailbox to pick it up.

(I have been getting a lot of voicemail messages for calls which my phone apparently never noticed. The VM notification usually comes in straight away though).

Mine does that too, I suspect its way too old. I got a new phone to combate the problem.
