- robbyking 4y agoI'm always paranoid that I'm going to miss a call from one of the million numbers that come from my kiddo's school.
- tomcam 4y agoThat and our doctors' offices are starting to call from random numbers. Sigh
- derwiki 4y agoBuy a Twilio number that forwards to your real number. Then whoever has that number can call it, and it will ring you from the known Twilio number. Add to address book and voila!
- dereg 4y agoThis is a simple and neat idea. I'll try it on the weekend.
- clamprecht 4y agoDo spammers not call Twilio numbers?
- derefr 4y agoI don't know about calls, but I definitely get spam SMSes on my persistent Twilio SMS numbers.

- tshaddox 4y agoI assume the spammers buy "known active real person phone numbers" from somewhere (probably the awful carriers themselves), so it might be less likely for them to find a new Twilio number. But as soon as you give the phone number to some company that sells (or accidentally leaks) their customer data, that number will be burned too.
- wilg 4y agoIt's strange they don't have some API that would let Lyft or Doordash or whoever provide caller ID for this use case.
- giarc 4y agoMy carrier has an option that forces unknown callers to enter a 2 digit number to proceed with call. I add known contacts to my list online and they don't get the prompt. Works well, however I now get a lot of spam texts which it doesn't work for.
