This showed up on our caller ID. We continue to turn the ringer off and the answering device off for our landline and use it for outgoing convenience only. We'd do without it but incredibly it was $40 cheaper to get internet, tv, AND phone instead of just internet and tv. Go figure. We just moved here to ID a couple weeks ago and since this number was activated have gotten over 20 calls - 100% of them soliciting something or another. Everyone we care about has our cells.
