Answer 2

If you don't have a caller ID on your phone then get one for your phone. I get lots of 800 calls most everyday and sometimes don't answer the calls. If I get a call from someone and don't know whose number it is then I don't always answer the phone.

Answer 3

dial *77 to activate ACR on your line, this will require all incomming callers to unblock there number before being able to call you... this will not block payphones, and some sales/collections calls from getting thru as private...

Answer 4

if you have a samsung like me there is a fake call button which is good for sticky situations but often goes off in my pocket. I think other phones may have this. I called mine Jeff :-)
