Now we can only hope that all the nuisance callers, who used to call your landline, get your cellphone number.

But at least with a smart phone you can easily block the unwanted numbers...

That does not help much when the spammers are using caller ID
spoofers. The number keeps changing.

You're right. I don't even bother blocking them unless I see the same caller and number several
times. I just don't answer unrecognized numbers. If folks start to leave a message, and I recognize
them, then they'll get answered. Otherwise it doesn't happen.

The strange one is when your own number pops on the caller ID.

My cell phone number shows up quite often on my land line CID. If I'm running around and think of
something I want to remember later, I'll often call my home phone and leave a message as a reminder.
Works well.
