Right. Some 95% of it is exactly the same dialogue: Hi, I'm in the
train now, it's a little slow but I'll be with you within an hour or
so, doei!

New trend: SMS messages to non-SMS capable home-phones: familiar
message in a familiar style, but in somebody else's voice. Very
strange and amusing. Got one from my daughter yesterday, about a
subject we had been discussing over MSN a quarter earlier.
The wonders of modern technology.
