Call was at 1302 on Feb. 28...........I did not answer , checked out caller ID instead.....

This number just called me at work with some woman just shouting hello over and over again.  Rather bizarre.  Caller ID shows Wash DC Call.

Anyone noticed worthless annoying calls have increased since the "Do Not Call Lists" came into existence.  Fed up,  I finally did some internet research and bought a "Digitone Call Blocker" for about a hundred dollars.  So far, it's been worth every penny.  Call blocking phones only block about 30 #'s and that's way to few for me. Call Blocker blocks up to 80 then you have to erase and start over.  You can also program it to block whole area codes at once, "as one number", so there's less precious storage space used up by blocking individual numbers. You do have to remember to add back "wanted callers" in blocked area codes.  It comes automatically programmed to block all unavailable, unknown, out of area, anything without numbers.  The only flaws I have found so far are, it doesn't show how many total calls you've blocked, it doesn't eliminate the unwanted callers altogether, just hangs up on them and it allows unwanted calls to ring "once" on any phone it's not attached to.  But, if the volume is off on your extensions, you'll never know anyone called.  Unless someone knows of, or comes up with a device that has unlimited blocking ability and can eliminate unwanted calls permanently, this is the best thing I've found out there to ease the hassel and frustration of this explosion of annoying callers.  http://www.digitone.com/
I have not tried this, but have heard these tones can be recorded on your answering machine that will stop computer generated calls.  http://wesleytyler.com/TelephoneMultiTone.wav
