Oh yeah! If the number is 'blocked' or I don't recognize the number, I just let it go to voice mail. People I deal with on a regular basis know to text me.

I get some here and there. I usually don't answer the phone if I don't recognize the number. The spam calls have taken a new strategy by having the local area code where I live. I've answered a few thinking they might be the library or doctor or something like that. With area codes I'm not familiar with I will not answer, but I will check google to find out where the number originates from.

I feel for you but talking on the phone is the only way I know you are real. Once I know you we can message and text. I get my share of junk phone calls. Most are plain out spam. Since I have the phone that my stepdad once had I'm getting scam artist calls for him and one outfit wanting to "give Paula that small loan." I looked her up by the number and she is real. It can only mean that she had the phone number before my stepdad did. After more than a year of this I'm getting it mostly worked out now.

I get so many

I get spam calls, and when i do, i hang up and then block the number.

Hi! My my name is Alfredo I am from Philadelphia Pennsylbania, if you need to talk to some body I am here. Any time.? Feel free to let me konw.

I do get calls that are full of bologna. Does that count? Isn't lunch meat, lunch meat?

Yea and canned tuna fish too LOL.

Yes I fucking hate it

I get a few calls, but I don't answer numbers I don't know or have no caller ID information.

Some spam calls are routed thru to your area code , that way DNCL is bypassed. I just let my phone ring and let it go to voicemail, most of the spammers never leave a message.

Yup - every couple of days, from a local exchange. Had one that repeated several times, about winning an all expense paid trip to Florida ! Uh ... I LIVE in Florida.

Don't answer any of 'em any more .

google the 'do not call registry', it's an 800 number and you register your number and you get way less calls. Been doing it for years, it's blissfull.

here is the official site link: [donotcall.gov]

Despite being on the Do Not Call list I get about 3-5 automated spam calls each day.

I have received sales calls from venders. My numbers are all identifiable. I have one friend with an unlisted number - she doesn't call that often.

I downloaded an app called MrNumber. I get very, very few spam calls now.

A very close friend of mine acts as carer for her disabled mother, who uses a wheelchair. They get literally hundreds of unsolicited calls each week from private companies claiming they're entitled to compensation or selling various devices intended for disabled people, despite registering with the UK Telephone Preference Service which is meant to prevent this happening, and now wait for the caller to start leaving a message before deciding to either answer or ignore it.

I don't know what exists in the US, but I registered my phone with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) in the UK - no more nuisance calls
