The call still shows up as a missed call, so I'll know if I've received a call (also works with texts, but you can't tell that it has blocked a text, you just don't receive it). I then look at the number, if it's local, I'll call back.

Sometimes.

I've been getting the calls where they don't say anything when you answer. Weird and very annoying.

I get a few each month on my cell phone and most are the same type. Today it was from a 424 area code which is California, were I have family so I answered it. It was a recording telling me how this was MY LAST CHANCE to lower my credit card interest (oh yes, right!!!) and I should just dial 1 if I want to speak to someone. So I did and I get my call answered but it is evident it is some kind of phone bank and the guy who answered my call is having a chat with his phone bank buddy. I get his attention and he starts his script. I interrupt and tell him I am on the Federal DNCL and he is breaking the law by calling me and to remove me from the list. He replies, "Oh that's great and this is not a solicitation!" and hangs up.

I think from now on I am just not going to answer any calls from any number I don't know.
