    So, why are you giving advice to someone who clearly posted here 8 year ago, and is talking about a Canadian debt collection company that does not have to follow US law?

    When I see "Unavailable" on the phone screen, I think to myself "Hmm, what a coincidence! So am I."

    Do you think Sam has been hanging around for five years to get an answer to "What does the Windows-R key do?"

    It's a [***] to block those, hospitals, medical clinics and a bunch of government numbers come out as PRIVATE CALLER here, but thankfully my landline cordless phones allow to block/unblock those with just 2 buttons pressed. But also a lot of the pests add in some name that is usually the phone number again, so it opens the door, so I have to be proactive or else I'll miss really important calls like hospital exam appointments, happened a few times. I wish they didn't anonymize their phones over there, I mean, it's added costs, I know that when I had a cell phone, I had to pay 25 bucks to have it be confidential back in 2005.

    Unfortunately, I can't block those because almost everything health related, appointments, doctors calling you, hospital calling you, it all shows up as "Unknown Call", they should change this. It allows in 90% of the crap calls I get nowadays.

    The " unavailable " calls I get on my cell don't even register on " Call History " at my phone co. It must be a VOIP call.

    Do not answer calls from" Unavailable" or Private caller unless you know that number would be my advise.

    Hopefully "A" will stop back after 11 years to see your advice.

    Just got a robot call from "Unavailable" that said it was from the "Legal Dept".  This is on my company office phone.  Kind of funny, because I just had that number changed because of all the spam calls I was getting.  No idea what that was about or who the heck they could have been calling (probably phishing).
