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.

I am talking about the POTS number showing up on the POTS caller ID.

Download the "Hiya" app and it will give you a decent caller ID for your
cellphone and disconnect calls from known telemarketers and scammers.
It works great!

Alex, my man, have you read the latest reviews on the app? I don't have an iphone, so I used the top
link. The reviews from the past few days don't sound very encouraging.

Although I'll have to admit, percent-wise over time the 140,000 'goods' to 11,000 'bads' is a pretty
decent ratio. I'm wonder if most of the 'bads' are quite recent due to a new version or something.

In any case, your thoughtfulness for this low tech guy is greatly appreciated.

BTW, when I went to reassemble my Ruger, I noticed the receiver frame screw sticking out about 3mm.
Found the right hex head to screw it back in, but that was surprising.
