I had one that called and hung up after the first ring over and over many times until I blocked it. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

Lately, I have received voicemail messages without receiving a call. WTF? Sic Semper Tyrannis If you beat your swords into plowshares, you will become farmers for those who didn't! Political Correctness is fascism pretending to be Manners-George Carlin | |||

They have that ability now, too. They can send a call straight to your voicemail without it ever ringing.  When in doubt, mumble | |||

My carrier (T-Mobile) tags most of these nuisance calls with "Spam Likely" and those of course I don't answer. I used to then block the number but I soon found out this was a total waste of time because these are not actually the numbers being called from, but rather just a tag marker on the call. As to not answering numbers w/o identifiable caller ID, I too made it a rule not to answer these, but I soon found out there are many legitimate callers that either don't have a caller ID or have ones that don't give much of a clue as to who they are. After missing several important calls I've modified this practice a bit and have become pretty adept at spotting junk calls. Every now and again one will slip through and I'd answer but quickly hang up. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||

We were at the CPA’s doing our taxes. My phone rang. Local number. When I answered the guy was irate and demanding that I stop calling him! I explained who was with me and suggested the number had been spoofed. The military hospital that we get care at uses blocked numbers. I’ve learned to check voice mails they would change things. “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||

Question for those smarter than I... I've recently started getting TEXT messages from "advertisers" who of course aren't in my contact list. It's easy to block the numbers from where you get an actual call, but how do you block the number so that you don't get a text message? I did get one that had an associated number, so I surmise I'd have to create a contact for that number and then block it?? But what about texts that don't readily have a standard phone number? I'm with AT&T and have an iPhone 6s. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

When I had a landline, I used the Digitone. It is a fantastic device for blocking, with tons of options. You can even block wildcards, such as an entire area code (800-xxx-xxxx), or exchange (928-231-xxxx). When in doubt, mumble | |||
