We no longer have a land line to our home and instead employ call blocker software on our iPhones to block pesky callers. However, the spammers and annoying callers use software which disguises their caller id so that it appears as a different number each time the call goes out. If I don't recognize a caller, I will usually let it go to voice mail which I can easily erase later on.
It's a big game. Them against us!
It sure is a big game, and one I'm determined to win, come **** or High Water…
We switched some time ago to our cable providers digitalphone, but later removed some features that also included call blocking, but unfortunately out cordless phones have a limit of 30 blocked calls which I've tried to trim several times.
So keeping that list edited is another PITA in dealing with the scumbags.
I had one from the "Windows Tech Dept" the other day about all my problems my computer was causing — again, and all I could do was give out a long sigh and I guess the poor fellow figured out what was coming and quietly hung up.
I'll let the answering machine deal with them more but it's hard when they use a phony "local number".
