Called my home phone, registered on the DNC, at 5:01 PST. My caller ID states "Unavailable". I picked up the phone before it could go to my answering machine, and then just hung it up. I work from home, and I get 8 to 9, sometimes more, telemarketer/scam calls every day. My call blockers is full on my Panasonic. I may need to upgrade to a different phone to get capability to block more calls. I'm thankful for this site - wealth of information! Thanks all!
My call blocker has a 250 number limit. These crooks seem to change numbers frequently, and so I find it's usually safe to delete the oldest numbers in order to make room for more. I keep records of which numbers I've deleted so I can identify any I may want to keep blocked. Try it. It's an ongoing chore. We all need to start pressuring the Congress to do something meaningful and enforceable about this. I suggest that fines, say $10 per call, be imposed upon the telephone carriers themselves. That would shut this nonsense down in a hurry!
