Beautifully-Human

I was just reading this article on Reuters that I found to be pretty cute. The article was about this practice of “beeping” by people in Africa which Reuters describes as the “fastest-growing phenomena in the continent’s booming mobile telephone markets”. Basically one person will call another person and before they can pick up the phone, the caller will hang up. Basically only allowing the phone to ring long enough for the receiver to see that they have a missed called. That way the person with the cell phone will know that the caller is trying to reach them. The caller also hopes that the other person will call them back at their expense. That’s so funny to me because I used to do that with my bf. At the time I didn’t have a cell phone and long distance was expensive, so I would just call him and let it ring once and he’d call me right back. LOL. The Africans are late!
