Interesting Places your voice has been but you haven't

I had to ring someone in Katmandu today. I've never been there.

Kind of odd to think my voice has been there but I haven't.

Your voice wasn't there

. Or then I could say I have visited many more countries I've ever been, logging to their servers located there.. Hey my IP visited there!

.

Sorry, I just wanted to ruin your fun

Your moronic answers never ruin my fun.

I'm glad to hear that, they weren't supposed to...

What if you were stuck with phone operator in Katmandu? What if if only reached a message box, that you would leave your message, but no one would ever play it?

Alexander's Horse · August 14, 2003, 07:27

I was actually - I had to ring twice.

Pekka · August 14, 2003, 07:28

but would it count? What if I scream loud enough, that they could hear it in Katmandu?

What if I sent a letter, with instructions to send it back to me.. the letter would then have visited the place.. ?

I called a client on his cell phone, and when he answered he explained he was in Kuwait. He must have one kick-ass cell phone. But he lives in Belgium, and we know their mobile stuff is better.

So my voice has been in Kuwait. A place my body shall never, ever go.

Boris, it doesn't matter what cell phone you have.. it matters how good the network is. For example my phone works in every country, except the US because of different frequency. When I was in Greece, my friend called me to my cell from his cell and he thought I was lying that I wasn't home. It's that good these days..

I can call from my cell to my moms cell in the US, and you woudln't notice the difference if I was calling from the room next to you. It's pretty awesome though

.

edit: duh, that was pretty much what you meant. I didn't want to sound like a smartass.

I was thinking of taking a job at a uni in the UAE so my voice was there.

Australia too.

Pekka · August 14, 2003, 07:48

Now that I think of it, I'm pretty boring. My voice hasn't been anywhere where I haven't been earlier or later.

Laertes · August 14, 2003, 07:55

I wish I had a job where I needed to speak to people in Kathmandu (sp?).

But my voice has been to Australia and Japan, with no passport, visa or local currency.

the only place my voice has been that i haven't is new york.

Here's an idea:
If you really want to 'Travel by Voice'(tm), build a web page that plays a recording of your voice saying something when the page loads. Then upload it to somewhere and invite random people you meet on IRC / IMs / elsewhere to visit your site (but that's spamming, so don't really do it).
Then your voice can reach pretty much anywhere in the world where there is a computer that's connected to the Internet and has working speakers, only without the long-distance phone bills.

Me: Hello, where are you?
Friend: Venice
Me: Huh? Is that a new bar or something?
Friend: No I'm in Venice in Italy.
Me: Oooh
etc

My voice has carressed the inner thighs of Winona Ryder.

I made a phone ring in an empty hotel room in Katmandu as well. I could hear it ringing, and ringing, and ringing.

Then I got the hotel staff to track down the person. They did a search and found him in the breakfast room.

If so it must have been a pretty special fart. I bet she has perfect pitch.

Alexander's Horse · August 14, 2003, 08:55

she stole it

I've been to more countries than I've phone to.

Exception AT&T customer service somewhere in the US. Long story.
