In order to have this service your service provider must have simultaneous ringing. Some service providers do not. It is certainly an option , if you can get it, but it's really just part of a bigger picture of being proactive. As the crooks spoof (fake) their caller ID, it's a different number every day. Call blocking is also an option to consider.
This number tries twice today all they can do is light up the phone to say incoming call and then it goes away without ever ringing. Well I'm sick of even seeing that so I used one of my blocks on comcast this number won't be appearing here again. Seriously what is to gain by annoying people with these calls.
Badger714 I have 25 call block limit on comcast and a Panasonic system that allows 250 call block and even area codes. It's gotten to the point where I've even blocked my own number from calling not that it could I'm always busy :) When Panasonic makes a Phone that blocks more than 250 numbers I will have it. The reason being the first ring is silent on these phones. Also for the Panasonic wish list it would be great if the light didn't appear until the second ring.
I picked up the phone because the # on my phone indicated that it was from a town I worked in and have many friends so I picked it up. It said I won a cruise!! I hung up.
