My call blocking space is also full, and after having to erase some of the earliest calls from several months ago--they start calling again! Ugh!!
I never pick up calls from numbers I don't recognize--including these idiots--but been wondering something for a while now: Does leaving the answering machine ON also tell these dummies I've got a WORKING NUMBER SO THEY'LL KEEP CALLING, or should I simply turn it off if it rings when they ring & I'm home? Would appreciate input, thanks.
Like you, I wondered whether leaving my answering machine off would help reduce/eliminate these robocalls. In some cases, over the past 3 months, I haven't received calls from a few numbers that always called every single month. However, I'm still receiving calls from what others report as a solar company.
The downside to leaving your answering machine off is you have to monitor all your calls coming in particularly those you want to answer.
So far, in the past 3 months, my answering machine has been off, and like I said above, some calls have ceased. Give it a try. Good luck to you.
Your best bet is to BLOCK these phone numbers. I highly recommend Panasonic telephones because most of their models have Built-In ‘CALL BLOCK’ feature, which mean you won’t have to pay your phone company/provider a penny (some providers charge a monthly fee for blocking). And in my opinion the best place to buy Panasonic phones is at COSTCO as they have some of the best prices, models w/the best money back guarantee and hassle-free returns.
