#145848 - Not really surprising.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I'm on cable, mind you, so I was really (pleasantly) surprised about that. <p>

It's not really all that surprising. Your phone is talking to a computer on the other end, not to some electro-mechanical gizmo like in the old times. And that computer can do frequency detection just as well as counting pulses.
