Last Monday was the day. I downloaded software that blocked all calls that weren't in my contacts.
I change my number every six months.
My phone rang twice! My wife and daughter
No more 800 numbers, no more robo-calls.
FREEDOM! Dont let anyone associate you with a phone number!
I've had the same number for years and I'm an idiot for not changing it, but I've had debt collections call for the same guy this entire time.
For almost 5 years, dozens of different debt collectors have called looking for this guy, and it bugs the shit out of me. Even stranger still, one time I went to an auto body shop and registered the number there...and they pulled up the account for this guy and thought I was him.
There's some dude who lives/lived near me that owes people a lot of money. What are the odds that I would get the used number of somebody so close to home?
