My senators keep calling me to get me to listen in on telephone town halls. I wish they would stop calling. I don't like either of them, and don't want to hear what they have to say. I don't answer the phone, so I get LONG BS messages...

Wow,
Those offices have a pretty aggressive agenda.

I blocked some calls on our landline but it was a hassle and did not really work -- rather complicated to do it right. (Maybe new landline phones are easier)

Finally I seriously considered unplugging the phones but Hubby still gives
out his landline phone number and his work uses that to call him sometimes.

I have a caller ID on my phone, and when it rings, I turn it on, and then turn it off if I don't recognize the number. That way they can't broadcast through my answering machine recorder. BF

I give out my landline for most things and screen my calls. I feel like it's less intrusive than having people call my cell all the time. I get email notifications if someone leaves a message, and I can forward my landline calls to my cell if I'm expecting an important call to my home number.

I don't think call blocking is worth it... the telemarketers and scammers change their numbers too often.
