It's worth noting that many landline phones now allow you to enter a number that you're intending to call, then pressing the call button at which point the number is automatically dialed. If the dial tone is heard at all, it is for a very brief period, and might be entirely missed. This would make the scam you're describing even more readily achieved. |

... the autodial feature may well be waiting for dialtone in order to dial. I've not looked into this and you're probably best off testing this yourself on your own equipment.
