[QUOTE="donna723, post: 314393, member: 1883"] That's why I pay for Caller ID! I don't answer [U]anything[/U] that shows as "Private" or "Unknown". Too bad for them! It's usually a telemarketer or something similar. And if it shows the number and even if it shows the name and I don't know who that is, I don't answer! But I will run the number through "whitepages.com" to see who it is, especially if it's local. Usually it's just someone with a wrong number. But for a while there, I was getting telemarketer calls that somehow would show as coming from a local number on the Caller ID. Our town is really tiny and no way were those from anyone here. I figure it's MY phone and I pay for it and I get to decide who I will talk to or NOT talk to! And it doesn't ALWAYS show as Private or Unknown if it's coming from a place with multiple lines. Where I work the main phone number ends in "61". But we have many different incoming and outgoing trunk lines that are a variation of this and it will show on the caller ID as '61' or '62' or '63' or whatever trunk line the call is on. [/QUOTE]
