I work in inside sales and my boss is a fiend about our "phone time" -
the amount of time our call monitoring software records us using the
phone. Doesn't matter how productive we are in terms of sales (I am
number one or two in a 10-person office every month), we have to
explain ourselves if our phone time doesn't meet his expectations.

A good part of my job involves email communication with clients. Of
course, if I'm typing an email message and paying attention, I can't
be on the phone.

So I'm looking for some US phone numbers that ring to recordings that
just play and play and play while I type. Not voice mail systems, or
spell-by-name directories, where I have to press keys to keep it
active. Just something where I can dial in, maybe punch one or two
keys, and have a recording playing endlessly. Soothing recorded music
would be ideal, but I can't be picky. I just want lots of phone
numbers that I can use to keep my boss off my back.

BTW, 704-359-4910 is one ideal example. Press 1 for English, 8 for
directions, and that thing will play for hours if you ask it. If only
it played music!

Any tips, please, I'd welcome.

Pick most any technology-related company, and call their technical support
line.

You seem to have a boss who doesn't actually know how his own business
works. I suggest that you start looking for a job that is less likely to
vanish at short notice, eg when the phone bill exceeds the income; or of
course, you could try to explain to your boss how it is that you are so
productive with this new-fangled internet and email stuff, and how it is
so much cheaper to use email than telephone. If he doesn't like the idea
of more income for less outgo, then you should start looking for a new job
urgently.

I can think of absolutely no reason on earth that you would post this crap
to rec.photo.digital.
I mean, who gives a bugger about your job, your boss or your phone time?
