Re: phone scams
Hi, we are keeping our landline number for now. Which was a good thing recently when we had a bad storm and the power went out. At the same time our mobile tower also went down so none of us could use

Re: phone scams
I didn't know that but I don't try to block them because I know they just go to new numbers anyway so I haven't wasted my time trying to figure out how to block them.

Re: phone scams
Unless it's for business purposes, I think most people are using cell phones and VOIP services now because they don't want to pay for a landline in addition to a cell phone plan and a VOIP plan. In

Re: phone scams
Blocking doesn't work because they use RNG's that are capable of producing thousands of phone numbers, and the typical phone company account will only let you block 100.

That's why it's best to let all calls go to voicemail unless your phone verbally announces incoming phone numbers or you can assign ringtones to specific contacts. I think some phones for landlines

Re: phone scams
This has been going on for a long time, and some of the numbers are actually working numbers. If you call back the number, you will get a real person, but that person has nothing to do with the scam.
