Hey guys.
I've recently added skype out minutes. However I'm coming unstuck in perticular when I try and call someone who has privacy monitoring facilitys. To be specific Bellsouths privacy directory. ou can enter in a bipass code or record a message the other person can here and choose to answer your call.
I can't get the bipass to work and I'm figuring that skype isn't using DTMF's, (dial tones). The other issue is when you record your message you press 1. This thing is acting like I've hit 1 when I've done nothing and thus is complaining my message is too short. Then after several attmps you'll be disconnected if you haven't recorded a message that meets th eminimum length or used the bipass code. Any ideas or similar experriences and how you solved them as I'm aware there's other areas this type of thing me be an issue.
