I've noticed since I canceled my home phone and switched it over to a
smart phone that none of the familiar caller ID's come up on the cell
phone that came up on a land line.
On my cell phone if someone I don't know doesn't leave a message so I
can identify them first and set up a unique ring tone for them, I get a
default ring and no caller ID info. I don't answer those calls and as a
result I don't get any sales calls. 99% of those calls leave no message.
1% have the audacity to leave a message.
A downside is that anyone that I may know that doesn't leave a message
doesn't get a return call.
I can agree that scam call centers can and will pull all stops to take
advantage of a land line caller ID feature to pull any stunt that will
get you to pick up. Caller ID's can be manipulated but I have no
experience in how.
I encourage everyone to go ape on anyone that uses cold calls as a sales
technique to single family homes and cell phones. Thieves are running
the game, none can be trusted. Its gotten to the point you can't answer
your phone anymore.
