Several months ago I was getting fax calls at 1am-2am repeatedly. The phone company told me to use this service to mark the calls. However, it turns out that since the nature of the calls weren't technically "harassing", they couldn't do anything about it. Apparently if someone calls me in the middle of the day and says "penis", that could get them in trouble; but waking my wife and I night after night is not harassing. Go figure. So the police couldn't legally do anything, and the phone company wouldn't do anything. That's when I finally dumped traditional telephone service. If the phone company isn't interested in giving me a product with the features I want, I'll find someone else who will. Now I've got VoIP service. I can see a complete record of who called me (subject to CID spoofing), and I can set up blacklists for incoming numbers according to my own whims.
