They do that because it makes it harder for me to screen calls, I have kids at schools where landlines will have the same first 6 digits, if I get a call like that, I assume that it's a garbage call but I have to answer it in case I need to pick up a child or go to the doctor.
- ryandrake 9y agoAdd a contact in your address book with the school’s number(s)? Sure there is still a small chance of collision with the spammers’ fake numbers, but it should help. My mobile gets an average of 3 robocalls a day, so I’m 100% whitelist at this point. If the caller’s number is not in my address book it gets ignored.
- eridius 9y agoThat requires you to actually know the number they'll be calling from though.

- ams6110 9y agoI tell my kids that if they are calling me from someone else's phone or a school office phone I probably won't answer but they should be sure to leave a voicemail because I will listen to that.
