Cavalier Telephone Company
« on: April 08, 2009, 01:17:10 PM »
Cavalier is some cruddy little phone carrier in Pennsylvania that offers voice, DSL and some other things.  You've got to hear their voice menu though.  Somehow this phone company can't afford to have a real human do the automated voice recordings, so they're using a text-to-speech engine that doesn't know when to pause and likes to read periods by saying the word "point."

1.888.612.7383

It's somewhat lulzy.

Haha, nice find. I felt like I was at an auction, I believe I even said "I'll bid $5.50" once or twice.
