I have received several calls from this number but never spoken to a person. When I pick up, I loud pop was audible, then the connection was severed. When I finally did return the call, I found the callers were telemarketers for an energy supply company attempting to solicit new business. I told them to remove my number from their call list. They were polite and promised so to do. We'll see...
About 10 calls from this number over the last week. No message left. "out of area" shown in Caller ID.
Funny thing is that the number *is* in my area. If they left a halfway intelligent message, I'd return the call.
Imagine how much better this telemarketer mess would be for us end users, if we could set our phones to answer calls from numbers we select, and no more. If we could enter our friends' phone numbers directly into our phones, then we'd never receive calls from other numberse.
