One thing I have wondered about, though, having a phone that works through the internet.
When my son had AT&T (the old fashioned landline) at his house, we could get call blocking on those pesky BS robocalls and they would stop completely.
Now that I have this kind of phone service, which only works when the internet is working, I get a lot of calls like the one I describe. I can imagine there are software programs that allow them to pick up names and match them with “live” numbers, even if they no longer are a real match?
