1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1sinal intermitente Explanation: Stutter dial tone is a series of short separate tones produced by the telephone company's central switching office that alerts a voice mail subscriber that he or she has voice mail. "dial tone" is "sinal" in Portuguese hence the answer I propose -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-07-09 00:37:31 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I have just seen Roberto\'s suggestion...I guess it depends on context. I mean, a stutter dial tone sounds like a \'sinal intermitente\' and if the user hears it, it means that he or she has a voice mail. Hope this helps By the way, tone and pulse are 2 different kinds of telephone signal and one is older than the other - it is something to do with the type of exchange or some such thing. However, I can never remember which is the most modern (I think it is tone). I do not know the right Portuguese translation for those. x |
