Phone companies will love this one, since the "Coda Call" answers the
phone, and if you don't know the code, you've paid anyway.

One would have to want to be pretty isolated to put one of these
things on the phone, since many people you like will probably run into
it.  In addition, if you leave it on when you're not home, you're
causing everyone, even people who know the number, to call and get
nothing.

How about one that answers (and tickets) the call, then returns busy,
until you answer the phone.  That'd be truly antisocial :-)
