Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 It's not even fun anymore. Haven't gotten an actual person telemarketing in years, now it's all automated calls. Remember back in the day when you could at least fuck with the person? (if you had the time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCR1250 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 I've got Panasonic Phones which have 250 number call blocker capability-- # KX-TG3634, once you set them up and you block a number you will not hear it ring again if that same number calls you, it won't even show up, you can also set them up to receive a single ring if you wish.. I have 2 sets of these phones so I can block up to 500 numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My number is a business number so we get 100's of calls a week, I have 11 phones, 2 are corded in case of a Power failure.

Cell phones don't normally work here as you need to be within 8 miles of a tower, closest 1 is +/- 15 miles away, I've got a $2,300 amplifier which works most times but usually 2-3 bars only, also have an Amp in 2 of my 3 trucks.
