It is becoming annoying both on home phone and cell phone.  Call ID is a wonderful thing... 4951

@Ray: The congressman is allowed - political calls are allowed. Of course the politicians exempted themselves out of being on the do not call list.The last week I've been getting a call on my cell phone after lunch. Everytime I answer it no one is there. So today I plug it into my trustee little website I use at work to locate people. It showed  two different people/ businesses  that had this cell phone number previously, but the current spot was blank. So I call it from my office desk, that goes through a trunk line. It say it either out of service or .... I don't even remember what the other option was. I blocked the call.

We've received about 10 calls from the Lions Club.  Each time, we tell them no, and to remove our number from their call list.  I also got the robo-call from Ted Poe today.  We keep our landline primarily for the junk calls.  We are on the national and the Texas DO NOT CALL lists, but they ignore this.  I am also about ready to go to Parkway Kia and poop in their lobby.  My son bought his car there and gave them our house number. He moved out about 3 years ago.  EVERY time they call, I tell them that he no longer lives here and to remove our number from their files, but they still call us.  This last call, I explained all this to the woman caller.  She said "But his work number isn't correct" in a tone like it was my fault.  I told her "Well, then it sounds like you have a problem" and hung up.I very rarely give out my cell number, so you must be special if you have it. 4951

Lots of unknown and air. I normally wouldn't answer.
I really don't think politicians should be able yo harass me nor use my cell line for their garbage.
Nothing they say will ever change my mind.

@thegoodwife: It's not only politicians that can still call.  Charities and any business with which you do business are exempt from the Do Not Call lists.

After I posted last night the phone rang & it said "unknown" I didn't answer it. When it went to voicemail some girl is saying hello, hello, well I have the generic message not a recorded message & you can tell if no one is there... My health insurance is Cigna, they've been chasing me for over a year now. They want you to be proactive & work with a counselor by phone. Leave me alone.... I know that number by Emoticon these day & I refuse to answer it. 4951

I've been getting calls from spoofed numbers for probably six or seven years daily, sometimes multiple times a day. Rachel at cardholder services and some medical alert thing. I have kindly asked them to stop, ignored, cussed at them, blew a whistle in their ear, flushed the toilet in their ear, just set the phone down and not said anything. They drive me nuts.
 
If they always called from the same number it would be easy to ignore, but it's always different number. I have kids all over the place and I don't want to miss their calls, so I usually answer my phone.

@thegoodwife:
 
We log them as pita's. At a glance we know which one it is.
The calls we are getting is dead air.
Makes me wonder if when my phone was stolen unlocked, they sold my number.
I'm not tech savvy and I wonder if they sold the number to a prisoner.
Can anyone answer a question?
Can they get me to answer and leave the line open to make a call showing my number?
Nothing shows on my phone bill. They are becoming increasingly annoying when I'm working.
Never a message either.

@CBP210: Me too! I got a voicemail from Farmer's Insurance and it was all in Spanish. Had to listen to it like 3 times before I could understand what they were saying. Just cuz I have a Hispanic name doesn't mean I speak Spanish.

I've been getting a few calls from outa state. If it's outa state, I won't answer. Sometimes, I'll answer a number I don't know, but that's usually if I'm expecting a call from someone or a business. If it's important enough, they'll leave a voicemail. 4951
