Call came, while I was out and, as others have reported, no message left and CID was URGENT.  Must not have been.  In answer to all the pleas, here, of when this will stop, IT WON'T.  This is our future, I'm afraid, until some genius somewhere finds a way to end it.  My solution is to let the phone blow up at their end with some command on my end.  But one can dream!!  I refuse to spend money on a blocker; I sometimes think that companies selling these products also sell our numbers.  If we wait for government intervention, we'll be waiting forever.  They can routinely rob our wallets of tax dollars, but service is nonexistent.  Sighhhh.
