I just put a reminder on my Outlooks. Back in a year.
Oh and did I mention that for three days in late December my POTS line could not make calls to certain numbers? Or when they were made either I could not hear the other party or they could not hear me? Some numbers worked, and some didn't. It was the entire POTS switch -- my neighbor had the same issue. |

| Um just so you know - I don't hate DV. Actually I hate a part of it, the 10 number block limit. Other than that - when I finally get FIOS shortly, I would move to DV. Yeah, that's right, I would dump my current VOIP provider and move to DV knowing that it would be better quality. I won't do that however because I have like 30+ phone numbers blocked. I loathe telemarketers.
But for everyone who says it's better than POTS, I'm sure there are people out there that say the opposite...

And that's just one thread, I could have posted quite a few more. |

| Is your house line on Verizon or another companies VoIP? Now things are getting confusing. I rarely get any telemarketers being on the do-not-call list.

I couldnt imagine having to block 10 numbers, let alone 30. |

| WRT telemarketers...
Everything from my college annual fund solicitation, to TWC trying to sell me their phone product, to political solicitations and fundraisers... To people who ignore DNC.
Heck I probably have more than 30. Once someone calls, I screen, search google, and block if needed. They never get through again.
I've actually left the country for ten days and came back to not a single call while I was gone. |

I think having your phone number unlisted for 26 years also helps, in addition to being on the Do Not Call list. I rarely get marketing calls. |
