Bonjour, Aurélie! Merci pour votre dialogue; c'est bien informatif. Je l'ajouterai à ma trousse! Puis-je vous offrir une toute petite suggestion en ce qui concerne la réponse de la dame appellée par erreur? A sa place, je ne donnerais pas mon numéro pour corriger la faute. Je dirais de préférence «Désolée, vous n'avez pas tapé 1 comme dernier chiffre.» Je me crois prudente plutôt que parano. ;-} Avec tout respect, S. Borcsok

Bonjour S. !
Merci beaucoup pour votre feedback ! Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec vous :) Moi non plus, je ne donnerais pas mon numéro à n'importe qui !
Bien sûr, le choix de le faire ici est dû à la volonté de placer plusieurs numéros de téléphone à écouter dans le texte, pour mieux pouvoir s'entraîner à les reconnaître ;)
Bonne journée !
