Reply To: Picking Up A Neighbor's Phone Calls on a Scanner

Our phone line in the bungalow colony was once crossing with someone else’s (we immediately told them). When I called Verizon to complain, the rep gave me a credit. While I was on with her, the other person’s conversation started coming through. The rep put me on hold, and came back on and told me that she gave me an even bigger credit! That summer, they actually paid me to have a phone.
