@Starcade

I got this msg from too.

However, I never know if I'm getting any on or on because the ringer on both phones is always off, my phone is always in mode & I never listen to or delete VMs which means that my VM recorder is ALWAYS full so that no more msgs can be left there.

So, I'm oblivious to any calls that I do not prearrange to accept & receive.

The only way to reach me is by txt & email & the spam filters that I use for those are very effective in screening out any unwanted msgs.

@sgt1372

I have my phone connected to a service which checks incoming calls. If it's not legitimate, it only rings once and drops the call. Also I have set hours where I allow my phone to ring for legitimate calls, otherwise it goes to voicemail. Voicemalls are transcribed into emails.

Anything that further cuts down on the overall calls, especially from non humans, I'm totally onboard with having.

@Starcade I use a # for businesses (like doctors/dentists) or people who insist that they can only call, not text or sent emails. I never answer those calls either but Google transcribes any VMs left.
