Do you habe Skype, Doc?
Ich habe das Skype jajajaj
Newly re-elected New Zealand Prime Minister John Key was talking to a supporter on his mobile phone when another call came in.
“I didn’t recognize the number, so I didn’t take it,” Key told a New Zealand television station.
Only later did aides tell Key who was trying to reach him: President Obama.

Lmao can you imagine President Obama having a call go to voicemail?
just thinking logistically, I imagine that happened a lot. Anyway I expect a decent number of his calls were made by aides and he just took the phone after they got through to the right person.
Even if it said “President Obama” many people would think it’s a prank.
Well to be fair I’d answer just to say “no you’re not!”
Its a news site but the only place you can find the date of the article is in the URL. Sometimes I am baffled by the weird design decisions people are making.
It’s called USA Today. That means you’re only supposed to read the news that came out today.
Oh, so it happened today. Makes it a lot less interesting now that Obama is not a president and hasn’t been in years.
If only spam callers were unable to spoof phone numbers that’d be great.
The thing is, there are legit reasons to want to spoof numbers. My use case is that if I’m not reachable via sip I send the call over the normal phone network and set cid to the calling number.
I guess a middle ground would be that you could spoof numbers to phone numbers you’ve registered and verified with your provider.
To be honest though, the scammers and spammers will always find a way round it and spoof anyway.
