    I wonder what the success rate is of

    A Robo Callamarketer. I have gotten at least 150 calls about my vehicle warranty. You would think the message has been delivered by now.

    Buy the warranty, then the calls will stop.

    I promise.

    Some calls can't be blocked by my phone. Been getting calls from a 454 area code. If I try to block from phone Android.....it says number not valid and will not block.
    I hate Verizon because their system only blocks for 90 days and you can only block 5 calls before they want to charge to an additional $3 a month.

    I'm ready to just go back to a pager.

    They wear me out from time to time. I'm in the 'no mystery call' camp.
    Just push the STFU button and send them packing, there's no good answer.

    I block all of them. If I had to guess, I have 250+ numbers blocked in my phone.

    At least the same for me, luckily my phone will tell me and allow me to listen to voicemails from blocked numbers.

    Good enough that it's worth it to keep doing them.

    This is what I do and I must say my blocked list has grown to be quite long.

    Really? $3 a month? I have Verizon and they don't charge me that. Heck, sometimes I block 5 numbers a day!!! I have an iPhone...and I was always under the impression the iPhone was internally blocking the number and not relying on my cellular service provider.

    There are apps out there where you can call anyone and the caller can specify what number shows up in their caller ID. Heck, you can call them from their own number...or even call them from 911...or 867-5309
