What it really means is "here's two minutes where you're guaranteed to not speak to me", so what's the point calling? That the girl is on screen and the phone ISN'T logged in for her to be ready to take calls make the station look amateur, in storyline terms. Considering this is a relatively new phenomenon, it makes it look like the channel suddenly has a raft of technical problems with the phones! I really don't get it. It's basically broadcasting "we want all you guys queuing so you can be paying for nothing right now." I know that the whole gig is about making cash over viewers/callers' actual satisfaction, but why be so transparent about it?
Haha this is nothing new they have been pulling scams like this for 5 or 6 years. They pretend they have no caller to entice people to chance their luck. You then get stuck in a queue. The two minute countdown works the same way making people think they have a chance of getting through straight away.
Another trick they used to pull was to cut the call for some unknown reason and dump you back in the queue.

It's better than the other scam, where they pretend the phone's logged in when it isn't. It costs you £5 a go to find that out.
Does this mean BS are pulling a fast one.... oh golly gosh
The pics/vids are just as bad, especially when you don't actually get whats advertised.
The pic & videos are a real money spinner for bs, I once read a statistic that said they sold 2000 a night.
^ But never the same one twice?

With such hard-faced scams, you can understand why Ofcom are so strict with these cowboys.

Except Ofcom don't police these dubious practices by babe channels at all. I only wish they did.
