The frequency and hours of spam calls has increased recently to where I have been awakened several times. I don't like to turn off the phone at night for obvious reasons. This is on our VOIP home "land line" number we have had 30+ years. So as I lay awake trying to go back to sleep I pondered different solutions. I could just turn off the ringer-that would be the easiest solution but one more thing to do. The callers are very clever with masking the caller ID but I know they are fake and never answer. I have signed up and renewed the "Do not call" registry. I considered maybe there are smarter cordless phones than our 10 year old ones. Anyone deal with this and have a solution? Maybe our VOIP carrier has an automated DND feature-I will have to check.
EDIT My carrier does have DND but any calls will receive a message saying we are not accepting calls. I want the ability to have a legit caller leave a message. I guess any solution will have to happen on my end. Maybe smarter phones with programable DND?
