I am trying to identify a foreign language that is on an outgoing message of a cell phone. It has me baffled. I wish I could make a wave file to put on here, but not sure how to do so.

Any ideas?

Place this question in the Science and Technology/Cell Phones or Computer forums and you'll get a better response.

If you can't directly get the recording from the cell to a computer file then you need to connect a microphone to your PC and play the message into it. There is a program in most versions of Windows to capture sounds and it will make a recording. It is found by going to Start/All Programs/Accessories/Sound Recorder and starting it.

Click on Start recording and play the voice mail into the microphone. Click Stop Recording when it is done.

As for getting a recording to play on CD I'm not sure what they have in place that will allow you to do this. Perhaps a MOD will know.

Someone in the cell phone forums might know if you can transfer directly to a PC if you include your cell phone brand and model.

Thanks, Tek_Freek

Since I've met you and Mrs. Tek in RL when you visited Jax, I've sent you the phone number via a rep. Do you know what language it is?!

I can only identify one foreign language, and that's foul language...

When you mention an "Outgoing message", I assume it's a voicemail. If that's the case, depending on your wireless service provider, you may have the option of forwarding that message to your email address, which will be received as an audio file, like a .wav or another format you can open with a media player on your computer. You can then upload the sound file to a website like Photobucket.com or YouTube.com (if you have an account with them) or you might look at attaching that audio file to a message here on City Data, assuming the sound file is not very large, you should be able to do that. Use the "Attach" option, which is the paper clip symbol above the message text window.

Hope that helps.

Unless it's English, easy Spanish, or easy French I'm no good to you.

I was right. Not a clue.

If you enter that number in Google (add the 1- in front of it) you will find out who it belongs to. If you then enter the address given into Google maps it will give you a partial list of what is at that address.

And I put the name in Google, Google added the word fraud to it automatically and gave a long list of not good references to this person, assuming it's the same one.

That makes sense, as it is someone being investigated by the feds- and for good reason. I'm sure it is the same name- BK?

I had three teens listen to the outgoing message and none of them had a clue as to what language either. Think it could it be a Baltic language?

Mike- I would quickly be able to identify it if it was foul language, as well....as a matter of fact, I have used foul language in conjunction with BK's name on numerous occasions.... he owes me $..... Ha!
