I've done the same thing as someone else, May 16th posting. I've gotten a number that I use just for texting. My phone has an added capability of setting my calls ringtone to "silent", which I've done; texts have a separate ringtone. Also, didn't set up a voicemail for this #, so don't even know if these annoying people call. They do, however, still call on my primary number, but call blocking works. If I have no one in that Area Code, just block all calls from that AC. :-). Can't do that w 210 AC cause I have contacts there. Just have to ignore this scam caller, or if they call too often, block #.
