they're not used to it they'd rather have the operator do it for them they're free to make a mistake or something they call in here all panicked you know they got a wrong number and you know can we do anything about it and we can give them credit they do reach a wrong number one darling themselves whenever they call in we always advise them to take in direct dial than it is a lower rate when they direct dial I say well you know it's about as half as expensive if you dial with direct Nick say okay I'm now in direct [Music]
