I had to answer this note. My husband passed away three tears ago the first of November, So I am also a widow.
The caller hangs up after 4 rings so I never spoke to him/it . When I tried to call back the number is NOT is service.
I had my phone number unlisted [ landline] and how can you add to Do Not Call when the number ""IS NOT IN USE""
My daughter gave a cell phone so most of the family and emergency calls are on the cell phone.
Ellie ~ I know exactly how you feel being alone makes the "asinine" calls. My husband traveled quite a bit so sometimes it dulls the pain of the corrupt a$$e$ that make the calls. You will be in my thoughts with good wishes. Also ~REALLY amazing about our names being so much akin.
We have received numerous calls from the 212 662 exchange.
Not a bother at all!
We have the entire 212 area code blocked.
ANY telephone number emanating from the 212 area code is permanently BLOCKED!
Our phones do not ring when a blocked call comes in thanks to our D***t**e call blocker.
When you block and entire area code you block 6,000,000 - 8,000,000 phone numbers!
Currently, we have easily 145 area codes blocked.
Should you have family or friends in the 212 - simply "invite" their phone number. Problem solved.
Please purchase a call blocking phone or device - they work and they are inexpensive.
