The following are examples of centralized
intercept telephone recordings. Centralized intercept typically are
"generic" one-size-fits-all recordings that do not inform
you of the number you dialed, just that there was a problem in
completing the call and a reason why.

Generic Nortel
DMS-100 Recordings
Examples of generic general error &
information recordings from Nortel DMS-100 switches. These are used
when the local telephone company (or even a competitive local exchange
carrier) chooses to use the default recordings instead of using their
own.
Call Cannot Be Completed As Dialed (Style 1 - English generic)
(August 2006)
This came from a CLEC in Stafford, Virginia. Notice that this is
probably the Nortel factory default for the English only language
recording - as the trailer code is just a series of ones with two
sets of SIT tones.
Call Cannot Be Completed As Dialed (Style 1 - English/French)
(2003)
This came from attempting to call a
number in Ontario Canada. Notice that this has both English and
French recordings. Even the trailer codes are in both languages.
Call Cannot Be Completed As Dialed (Style 2) (1999)
This is a typical "call cannot be
completed" recording from inbound call to a
DMS-100 switch. I've heard this when dialing various local telephone
companies as well as CLECs.
Please
Hang Up & Try Again (November 2005)
This is a typical "off hook"
recording from a DMS-100 switch. Sometimes after the recording it
goes to an "off hook" alert signal, other times its
reorder (as in this case). This example is from the North Pittsburgh
Telephone Company.

Recording from Northern Marianas Islands (Area Code 670). Notice the
2400/2600 Hz chirp at the beginning. If this were a call that
"Suped" (answer supervision) you would hear two chirps. Also notice
the background hiss (analog satellite transmission?)
