Deleting long Cingular voicemail

Raise your hand if this has ever happened to you...

There's one unheard voicemail on your phone. But the caller got creative and left you a 2 minute long ramble instead of a 10 second "hey, call me back" message. You wait and wait, and it seems like an eternity before you hear "Press 7 to delete this message". Is there a way to delete the message without listening to all of it?

YES THERE IS! Simply press 7 twice (ie 77) anytime during the message, and it will be deleted. Apparently, not even the Cingular customer service folks know about this one cos I've called up to ask them before.

By the way, read this too...

After Ra's al Ghul, al Qaeda is Chump Change

Frank Miller brings the Dark Knight into the War on Terror with Holy Terror, Batman!

It's been a long time since heroes were used in comics as pure propaganda. As Miller reminded, "Superman punched out Hitler. So did Captain America. That's one of the things they're there for."


Now, Batman has already taken on Ra's al Ghul, so he's not exactly new to terror based in medieval Arab visions. This should be pretty interesting!
