......, the fund raiser for it. They are relentless. I surrendered before but they start that every year as I'm on their list.
First I agreeded to donate some stamps. Then I looked up their calling history for the 1st time. It's not good. I'll keep my promise when they mail me something but I blocked their calls. But they keep calling everyday with different numbers.
Times like this I am grateful that I cut the phoneline at last and used the internet and Android. I can look at the caller id at any or all smartphones to see if I pickup the phone. I think I can block all their numbers on the phone but it's easier at my SIP provider's website to block them so no phone will even ring.
Landline providers are providing similar service but mine is much cheaper and more features.
I'll miss the voice / talking caller id of my antique answering machine. There are apps for that but they all don't work for VOIP. It's not a great loss as I can see who's calling with my mobile phone not far from me, even when I'm not at home or far from the answering machine.
However, since you can assign individual ringtone to a number, I can just use a sound file reading that number. It's a bit of hassle to generate a file for each, but you can make a file for each group, with ringtone like "family calling", "company calling". And for kids, "dady calling... dady calling".
Then they are estate agents. They all want to see how I'm doing in this new year. But I don't want to hear from them for the next 30 years.
