they just keep calling and hanging up when I answer it get's annoying big time when you run from one end of the house to answer it. my mother is not a spring chiken any more and it hard for her to answer it when i'm not able to.

Someone calls and allows the number to ring one time. Then, they hang up. I don't know who it is but the number traces to a land line in Pontiac, Michigan and it is serviced by Ameritech/SBC. I would love to have five minutes alone in a dark alley with this person or persons.

I've had it.  These idiots call day and night.  I do hope they are having fun because once we get our hands on them, its the last fun they will have for a long, long time.

I called AT&T and this number is for phone accounts that are paying for privacy blockage.  If you get a call from this number, it rings into your home, you answer, then a recording comes on that such and such a number and person is trying to call you.  you then select yes to take the call or no, not to take the call.

I have privacy manager and all I heard was "[***]" or something like that.  It was a male voice and I suppose he knew what he was doing.  There was a sudden disconnect.
