This morning I got two calls within one hour and two more this afternoon. If you call the number back you get a message from Verizon saying the number is no longer in service. WTF is going on? This is driving me nuts. Verizon wants me to pay them to block the calls. What a racket that is. The spammer pays Verizon for his phone service and I pay Verizon to disable it.
Pisses me off.
If you answer the phone, that is an invitation. If you call back, that is an invitation.

If you ignore all calls that you don't recognize and never answer and never call back, they go away for the most part.
You'll still get the occasional call but it won't be all the time.

With sprint i can block any number for free simply by pushing a few buttons on the phone.
