mine looks something like that.....minus the nails
One of the many reasons I kept my hard line! Very few entities have my cell phone number including some doctors. My cell phone rang only twice today.....one for a wellness check and the other call was from a friend. Keeping my hard line is well worth the extra money it costs me.Well Ill give you one tip to make your cell less intrusive - don't ever make the mistake of giving one thin dime to a politician - I'd never done so in my life until the 2020 generals. I donated a small amount and I'm virtually positive I didn't provide my phone number - I'm not that stupid. But somehow they have it and now I spend I don't know how much time a day blocking their text numbers and then sending the actual text to a spam crusher site and after that I report it as junk text and delete it. Doesn't matter what I do those texts for donations from politicians all over the country come rolling in - unstoppable. I discovered a way to permanently get rid of their emails but not their texts. Somehow they got my cell number and I'm paying the price.
if you have T-Mobile and sign up for what they call "digits" - a free service whereby they provide you with a "dummy number" that you can use in any case where whomever is requiring you to provide a phone number you can use your digits number. It seems like it's you're real cell number to whomever because it's assigned to you but it has no real tie back so they get bupkis.
Sometimes I'll mute mine. Right now I have a couple of women texting me a lot and sometimes I just want some peace and quiet. Not answering isn't an option because the ring tone gets irritating after awhile so the mute button works the best with that too.You guys are aware that we have the ability and freedom to:
A- simply not answer
B- screen calls and texts
and
C- respond at a time that is convenient rather than instant
right?
I'm in the towing Biz. The hours on my card say
30 hrs a day........8 days a week.
Even when it says possible scam I must answer that phone anytime it rings.Even though the message says I'll call back in a few minutes if I don't answer they just call another tow company.
