Bad
Date?
Use Your Cell Phone To Leave
Quickly
"Rescue
calls" are now being offered by two cell phone providers,
Cingular Wireless and Virgin Mobile USA. In an era of Internet-set
dates a new way to wiggle out of an uncomfortable encounter.
For both Cingular and Virgin Mobile, the prerecorded messages
are created at a high-tech central command in California's Silicon
Valley. There, five people with doctorates in linguistics dream
up excuses for folks to repeat before suddenly dropping a date
gone sour.
When
the cell rings, one of Cingular's eight "emergency'' messages
says: ``Hey, this is your Escape-A-Date call. If you're looking
for an excuse, I got it. Just repeat after me, and you'll be on
your way! 'Not again! Why does that always happen to you? All
right, I'll be right there.' Now tell 'em that your roommate got
locked out, and you have to go let them in. Good luck!'' And bingo,
the bad date is history.
The
rescue-call service is part of a Cingular package that costs $4.99
a month. Virgin Mobile offers its Rescue Ring at 25 cents per
use, plus the price of the call.
