I was gently obsessed with it while a student, a long time ago. I used to call random companies at night and, once on voicemail, fumble with *, # or 0 in the hope to get the ellusive outdial out of the PBX.
I never succeded. But what I loved was in fact the quiet of the night and the sound of it all. The carrier wave, the tones, the greetings. The various models (Meridian, Alcatel, ...) had different voices, mostly feminine, some soft, some very stern.
