They call me 3-4 times per day and there's never anyone there.  That tells me it's a robo-dialer that dials several numbers all at once then connects the call to whoever answers first.  Must be a telemarketer

Says they are calling from local newspaper. I just hang up.

This number has called me a couple times a day for the past few days. A voice mail is left, but all I hear is background noise and an occassional "mmm" from the caller.

don't know anyone in Texas, called it back message said metro news, I don't live or know anyone from Texas

I never answer calls from an unknown number, but assuming would get same response as listed above.  my phone is on the Wisc no-call list.  I will re-register on that list, and will report it to the state, as this is not the first time they've called me
