Agreed. Jeff from Iconic. I don't believe I have ever made a purchase from them, but get calls quite often.

I.blocked them, now they call from a private number

I got a POS $20 Cricket phone from 5 years ago running on 4G. When you lose calling/internet capability whenever you enter a large building, it makes life a lot peaceful. Harder to look up comps at a show, but that's the tradeoff.

My simple solution is I almost never answer my phone if the call is from a number I don't know*. If the caller feels it is important, they will leave a message. To me, no message left means it is not important (and I really don't care if the caller thinks it is). If it is really important and urgent, they will likely call back in a short amount of time.

* Sometimes I will answer if I'm not too busy and want to mess with the 'house hunters' that want to buy properties you may or may not own (among other annoyances).

I often don't answer when I DO know the caller LOL.

Of course. Don't you have your contacts in your phone? I'm talking personal cell phones now, which is not such a novel accessory anymore. Obviously business phones and landlines are a different story. But to your post, when I read it I hear the Dos XX man in my head. LOL

"I don't answer the phone often, but when I do, it damn sure ain't a cold call from PWCC."
