That is seriously the greatest thing ever. Not sure whether to say congrats on the ingenuity or condolences for having enough time to figure that shit out

hahaha... it was actually fairly easy... I used to do that for international call cards were you had to put the pin every time so you can just call, wait, and just dial the number

I had to find something to do during British Premier League halftimes

Absolutely a constructive use of time! I work in telecom (on the M&A side so not super tech savvy) but I never knew you could even do that. Definitely very helpful, sincere thanks for sharing.

Thank you! For some reason I couldn't get your system to work correctly. It sounded like the timing was off for me. But no matter, I got my status.

My car is still awaiting shipping even though I ordered earlier than some here. I assume that's because I have a date setup for PCD at the end of May so they have less of a rush on mine.

You could always add a couple of commas to get a little more delay. We use this trick at work as our system uses modems to dial up to certain supplier systems. Sometimes the phone lines aren't as good (especially in rural areas), and adding a little more delay takes care of the problem.

So change the 06.. To your production number.


I forgotten there was a number to call.

Neat trick about the speed dial thing. Thanks. My car has been at port waiting for a ship for ten days now. Frustrating.

I don't know how useful the number is or accurate. I called on Friday March 28 and the lady said it's not scheduled yet but tentative was the week of April 15. I call back Thursday April 3 and its in production so take what they say with a grain of salt as the saying goes.

I think once it's in production it's somewhat more accurate but from what I've heard the phone/website updates can still be 48 hours or so behind reality.

Thanks!! Added a couple commas and it works great now.

Really excited for you! EB looks right at home on the 2. My mineral white 235 should be here in about 4 weeks
