In large part, I’d say it’s call screening. I rarely answer calls that don’t have a name that I recognize from the caller. I’ve blown off hundreds of robo-calls in the past few months.
“In large part, I’d say it’s call screening. I rarely answer calls that don’t have a name that I recognize from the caller. I’ve blown off hundreds of robo-calls in the past few months.”
Many if not most tv service providers with phone bundling show who is calling on the tv screen.
Our grandkids, nephews and nieces learned by the time they could count to never answer any 800 call.
Then, they learned to never answer “unidentified caller”.
So that reality is there with us still with land lines.
A large % of our younger relatives have cell phones and usually can’t be reached as their #’s are unlisted. So how is any legit polling service getting hold of them. If a robo call does get through, their caller id warns them of unwanted calls.
I’ve posted before, my wife has noticed that many of her single women friends over age 60 don’t have land lines and use cell phone service. Only close friends and relatives get their cell #.
