hang-up in December 2011 on my message machine from 250 412-5717

I live in Lake Cowichan on Vancouver Island, called this afternoon, no message left, glad I wasn't home.  My phone can block callers (Panasonic) this will be one of the now.  Thanks everyone.

recorded message was a girl offering me free vacation travel to USA destinations as a reward for having platinum credit.

I just received an unsolicited call from this number. No identification. I once went ballistic at least every second day until I finally built myself a Caller ID box and designed it to work exactly the way I wanted. Now the phone only connects to the line (and rings) if the number matches a programmed list. In- Province numbers are answered by the answering machine after the fourth ring cycle and all other numbers are dumped by a 3 second quiet termination after the third ring cycle. Blocking calls from selected numbers is useless, and machines and Telco’s that offer that as a solution are actually just a part of the problem. The National Do Not Call List is also a joke.

That is certainly true about the "do not call" list. We still keep getting many unwanted calls!!
