A fail-safe address book?
Written on 5 Oct 2007
My mobile handset has the unfortunate property that it’s easy to press the wrong buttons when I grab at it to answer a call. I’ve just discovered that I made a rather expensive international call this Summer to the first person in my address book, called Adonica, while responding to someone else. It looks like most of the call took place on Hold.
In an attempt to idiot-proof (i.e. me) the Nokia design, I’ve just added a dummy user “aaa don’t call” with an invalid phone number that will come first in the address book. I’m waiting to see how many times I dial it.
Sorry Adonica
