Agreed. I have basically stopped answering my cell phone unless I recognize the number. I still get probably one a day, when before it was 3 or 4 a day. My brother in law has installed some kind of a blocker on his home phone that he has to put your phone number into the program in order for the phone to even RING. I thought that was a little excessive at the time, but maybe not!
We haven't had a home phone in years. We use only cell phones. The blocker is standard on iphone now and it works perfectly. My phone only rings for numbers that are in my connections. Unknown calls go straight to voicemail. The message are hilarious--threatened with arrest, SS#cancelled, big refunds if I call and cancel my contract and etc.
Anyway, the blocker programs work great.
