re: #210 klys (maker of Silmarils)

I signed up for NoMoRobo about a year ago. It’s cut down on a lot - the phone ringer is turned off on all but one, and when I hear that one, I listen to see if it rings a second time. Nine times out of ten, it doesn’t. If it does, I pick up the phone and - if I didn’t recognize the number - wait to see what happens on the other end, because a lot of the robot calling things wait for a “hello” before they transfer you to a rep.

That accounts for nine out of ten of the calls that make it through.

I’ll have to check that out. I can’t turn my landline off because I make a lot of calls for work and often receive callbacks from numbers I don’t necessarily recognize. But, if it recognizes robos with that electronic delay before a live person comes on, it might cut down on these calls.

It is weird though, because I hadn’t been getting them at all for a long time and then suddenly last month, they’re coming in like gangbusters.
