I have FIOS, which includes “digital voice”. It's well known that the .gov “do not call” list is a joke, and I was inundated almost daily with solicitation and telemarketer calls. When I called to cancel my home phone service they told me about the “do not disturb” feature, where you can designate up to 10 numbers you'll accept incoming calls from.

I don't know if the old copper line home phone service from Verizon has that capability, but it's sure made my life easier knowing that if my phone rings, it's someone I want to talk to calling.

That too is a phone company Con. The telemarketers have thousands of phone numbers. When the robo call machine detects a call block it has another line call you. Phone companies are making a fortune off telemarketers both from consumer and business. They have no ethics.
