The last few days I've been getting a lot of calls from 405-416-5412. When I answer, I can hear someone, then they hang up. When I try to call back, it forwards to a voicemail box without a name. Tonight, same thing, different number. 580-798-2777. if anyone has a reverse lookup so i can see who is doing it (business for example) I would appreciate it. Getting kind of annoying calling my cell. I'm on a no call list.

for a couple weeks this month I was getting calls like that. the caller id either listed it as yale ok. or unavailable.
sometimes 3-4 times a day. then it just stopped.

When I get sales calls at home. I play games with them sometimes. Sometimes I just ask them if we can put them on hold for just a second. Then I see how long they will stay on the line. Its the who can waste more of who's time game.

one way of solving this is if you have dsl get a dry line. that is dsl without a phone #. it will save you money. then sign up for a company called viatalk will have to see who else is out there. anyway they have a filter you can setup to only allow calls from certain #'s to ring through. all others have to validate. i have all 800#'s goto a # has been disconnected msg. all unknowns get prompted for a validation pin then gets routed to voicemail. all knowns have to enter a pin before ringing the homephone and all in the whitelist rings through with no problems. so do a search for ip phone providers with whitelist and black list's

I used to do this at my old office, the record is 27 minutes I think is was the yellowpages guy. My boss thought is was funny until I did it to him one when he called in and I had enough guys in my office to sound busy and I put him on hold for 10 min.
