That seems like an exaggeration. Or at least, maybe they've been hot-listed for some reason. My wife and I are well over 60, and we get at most one or two junk calls per day. Also, we don't answer any calls from unknown numbers (that is, not known to our base unit). If it's legitimate, they'll leave a message.
Edit: How does "hot" become "host"? I have no clue.
- rootusrootus 8y agoYeah, I think it's definitely not just age. I'm in my early 40s and I now get 15-20 calls a day on my cell phone. Twice that, at least, on my desk phone at work.
- wrycoder 8y agoThat’s a spam call every ten or fifteen minutes at work. Sorry, not believable. You are on the do not call list, right? (I get, maybe, one call a day.)
- rootusrootus 8y agoWell, fortunately I'm not trying to convince you ;-). You can choose to believe it or not, I'm just relating my own absurd experience with spam calls. At this point I'm ready to throw the towel in on the POTS network and move it all onto the data network. The ILECs have proven unwilling to address the problem and now their network has turned to crap. On my cell phone I can deal with it by whitelisting, but my desk phone is not so advanced.
