Who else gets 2-5 calls a day from 800# US/India /Russia etc

[emeraldclean]

Now I just don't answer them ( call display on my cell) but must get 15-20 a week.
I block out the # but still doesn't seem to do anything.
I have voicemail so if it something/someone legit there will be a message. With these questionable # no message which is great but the calls are annoying.
Not talking different area codes as these can be a real job or potential.

I have actually input some of these numbers in my phone as spam. I swear one of the spam numbers later called and became a customer.

Meaning there are apps that can broadcast an incorrect number on the caller id. So the number that is calling may not be the number that is calling.

I just answer and hang up if they are unimportant. Unfortunately not every prospective client leaves a message, I used to think if they can't leave a message they aren't a customer for me. Sometimes a completely reasonable person can be in a rush also, so they call many places.

Anyway I attempt to answer every ring on my phone no matter whom it may be. It can be very tiring...lol

Agree with answering your phone .
In my neck of the woods we have one area code 204.
I know the area codes for the western provinces and 99.9 % if it is not a 204# it is telephone soliciting or google or someone not booking a job.
Here are some blocked calls that are in my iPhone

Up in Canada for residential/ business /cell your were suppose to be able to put your # on a "Do not call list" for telephone soliciting etc.
Doesn't work.
I have answered and asked them not to call again but...they still do.
I just ignore # and then block it out. Don't know how many times I got a call from google or website providers etc

they are starting to spoof local cell numbers. they've even spoofed mine to call other locals. locals have picked up thinking it's me, and it's somebody from asia selling something or other.

I've heard of a scam were your cell phone rings and on your call display is your # . You pick up and nothing there . You then get a few dollars charged on your bill. Most people don't always look at the billing and just pay it with out knowing.

There is no don't call list for business numbers its only for residential numbers
It. Is really easy to have whatever number you want show on the caller id when you call someone it is a nice feature just abused way to much

You can set up a pbx server on the cloud for 15 dollars a month rentpbx.com
and have all your calls go to the pbx then out to wherever you want and have a really nice phone system that you can block the Tellamarker really easy and it will play a zap tone that most Tellamarker will take your number off there list because they will think the number is disconnected

I get calls like that almost daily, but on my landline mainly, not much on my cell yet. I handle them the same as you. I simply can't answer them all. I can pretty much tell which ones aren't legit, but not always. My phone does allow to block a certain amount of calls and that helps. Haven't needed to block any on my cell yet so I don't know how that works. I don't know where all the calls are coming from. Some appear to be automated. Many are in the U.S. I frequently get calls that have a city name for the caller ID like Houston, TX. for example.

I have 4 phone lines.
75+% of the incoming calls are spam/telephone solicitation type of calls.

Some days I just let em all go to voicemail as it gets very annoying.
