I guess because I put my number on the do not call list years ago...and always gave Karl's mom's number to people I didn't like
and she thanks you.

I never answer the phone if it is a number I do not know, and will just delete the voicemail without listening to it.

Welcome to cellphone marketing calls. Cellphones aren't private any more. I get a few that are linked to Florida and somewhere else.

I read that the "no answer back" calls are computers that are just dailing numbers to see if they are active. If you answer then it knows some one has that number and the non stop calling begins.

I don't know about other carriers, but on verizon you can log in online and add ph # to block.

This was an 888 number so I knew that wasn't the deal
FYI, Out bound CID numbers can be programmed into the switch so that the number displayed on your Caller ID is not necessarily the number that is calling you. In this case I know it is not because Toll Free numbers only work for inbound calling. If you get a call from 800,866, 888 etc, it for sure is not coming from that number.

I was getting bugged by the US Fidelis auto-dialer for a while last year and lately it's been the 'constituent survey' auto-dialer.
I just ignore it if it's not someone I know.
(or, more often, I just sleep through it since they call in the late morning to early afternoon)

I rarely answer if I dont know the number...so I have no idea who's on the other end of the number bugging me.

Special Information Tones (for your voicemail) FTW!
