Hi all, I have reached the capabilities of my Panasonic cordless phones for

Buy new cordless phones with greater capacity?

If so recommend a brand: Panasonic - V-tech - ?

Buy a separate call blocker? e.g. CPR V5000

Start over. Chances are most of the numbers you blocked were forged
anyway and are not being used any more. I got three calls today that

Block all you want but the callers have many tools and use millions of
numbers.


I have done that, at least five times. Most of the spoofed numbers appear
local. Until the gov't forces the network providers to block them we are SOL.


Use a number from a non-local Area Code, then ignore all calls from that
Area Code. That has been extremely effective for me.
