>> I think you need to keep calling them, tomorrow, Thursday, Friday, I'm sure you get the idea.  If all you get is voice mail and you can't talk to a live person, I would send the phone back more quickly than a flash of lightning can strike.  I'm not terribly tolerant of a company that doesn't return calls and doesn't let you talk to a live person.

>> At National Convention I bought the Odin Phone, written up in the May Monitor. It arrived a few days ago, and looks VERY good, with an easy to use keyboard. I charged it for a couple days, and tried to initiate it.
>> Instructions were to hit the round, red, button, and it would ring like an old-fashioned desk telephone, which it did. Then after 15 seconds, it was supposed to start talking with further instructions. It never did.  I did this over a couple more times. Trying other buttons I occasionally got a very faint short beep.
>> 
>> The email which arrived just before the phone had the manual which I was following, and gave an 800 number to call if there are problems. I called it Saturday and got voice mail, which did not surprise me. They had promised to call back, but here it is Tuesday evening, and I have not yet heard from them.
>> 
>> Can anyone make any suggestions? Tomorrow morning I will again try calling that 800 number.
>> 
>> Can you suggest another list I should try asking?
