Seriously, if it's a number NOT in my iPhone contacts, it gets ignored and if it was important they will leave a message.

There is no reason for people to be answering the phone anymore at every ring.


No caller ID on the landline. And cell coverage is just spotty enough that I won't give up the land line.

Not to mention the very concept of trying to teach SWMBO how to use a smart phone. It is to shudder...
Yeah, the $1.95 / month you "save" not having caller ID is SOOOO worth your time... Wink

I'm starting to understand how all those con-jobs get seniors to send them thousands of dollars via Western Union.

I've found the easy way to counter those (if you insist on picking up the phone in the first place) is to say nothing after answering and the telemarketing system usually assumes no one's there and disconnects.


It also captures your voice answering "yes" to the question.

I just hang up.


Could you explain this for me please. I've heard this before and I'm not sure what they are going to do w/ a recording of me saying "yes".
They don't know who I am. So how are they going to prove it was me? And for what purpose?


So when they charge you for service X, and you challenge them saying you never ordered service X, they present the audio of them asking if you would like service X and you replying "yes" in your own voice.

Actually, I didn't know that, but it makes perfect sense. Thanks!


Most people will say hello followed by another hello if there is no response. The computer detects this and rings through. Saves human capital from the gleaning process. Say hello once and it will hang up.
