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.

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.
