Called twice in two days, and never left a message. I NEVER answer calls that I don't recognize, and who don't leave messages, and block the number after the third 'No Message'.
Don't like it? Not fair? Blame Mother Bell, who allows all corporate telemarketing commercial callers, but gives it's residential scum customers nearly no options when it comes to blocking those annoyance callers, which A) forces more and more customers onto cellular systems for home services, and B) opens up a sub-market for telephone blocking devices.
You seem to not realize that AT&T and Verizon are about the same size, and each one has far less than 50% of the market. Cable companies like Comcast, Time Warner, and Grande Communications have part of the market. Microsoft has Skype and Google Voice is pushing into the market. All of these companies have the same limitations. Scammers exploit those limitations.
Got a call from this number today, called ID showed "Bluegrass Poll" but area code is not KY. Probably some political poll wanting to know who I am going to vote for Governor in the primary in a couple weeks. Blocked the number, I hate unsolicited calls of any kind.
