SFD Robo-call

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

I found a Somerville Fire Department robo-call in my voicemail alerting me to a multi-alarm fire in Somerville. But my voicemail doesn't time-stamp and I don't recognize any local numbers among the telemarketers in my call history, so I don't know when it came in or where the fire is/was. Anyone else get this call?

Does your voicemail keep really old messages? If so, it could be this mistake from last November.

I got a robo-call yesterday from Congressman Mike Capuano, inviting me to some sort of meeting, but forgetting to mention the location and day and time ;-(

The text is the same, though I didn't think my phone stored VM that long, and this was my first time ever hearing it. If nobody else got the call within the last few days, that must be it.

That might have been for Congressman Mike Capuano's teleconference town meeting at 7pm last night. I got the robo-call too, at 7pm, and it connected me directly to the beginning of his meeting (which I could only stay on and listen to for a few minutes).

I didn't know about that. A town teleconference is a really cool idea.

He's had at least one other (maybe more that I don't know of). It was listed in the Somerville Jouranl and on his weekly email. In the few minutes I was on the call, plenty of folks from Somerville were calling in and asking about the economy, health care reform, immigration policy reform, etc.

I love this town so much.

here's the info on the next one:

On Tuesday March 24th from 6:40 – 7:40 PM, I am hosting a telephone community meeting. Anyone interested in participating may dial 1-877-229-8493 and use pin 13034 at the scheduled time to listen in. This is my first telephone community meeting of the year and I am interested in hearing what’s on your mind. If you cannot call in on the 24th, I am hosting another meeting on the 31st at the same time, with the same call-in number and pin. We will also post an audio file of the meetings on our website.

Thanks for that info!

That would be worth posting as a separate post becuase not many people will expect to find it here.
