Default OT - The harassing calls

Most modern phones have the ability to block incoming calls by number
or all those lacking caller ID info.

why is the caller upset?


Some of us refuse to pay extra for caller ID, just like we refused to
pay extra for touch-tone back in the day. Ma Bell has a lot of balls
charging for a data stream that is in the switch anyway, and actually
costs them more to NOT provide to the end of the local loop. We also
decline to buy modern disposable phones.
