If You Hear A “Beep”
A short, high “beep” tone on the telephone line about every 15 seconds
means the person you are talking to is recording your conservation by means
of an electric recording machine connected to the telephone line. This signal
is provided by Dobson Telephone for your protection. If you don’t want your
conversation recorded, ask the person with whom you are talking to disconnect
