Can someone please take a moment to explain to me the benefits of blocking your telephone number from caller ID services? It seems like voodoo and tin-foil hat type stuff to me, but what do I know.
There are only 3 reasons why I don’t answer my phone.
- I’m on another call BTW…don’t keep calling me when I send you to voicemail unless you or someone very close to you is either dead or dying.
- I’m driving I can not find a head set that works while I’m driving. Might have something to do with the fact that the MINI is almost as lound as a NASCAR on the highway. Regardless, I’ve taken to not talking on my phone when I’m driving.
- The number shows up on my display as BLOCKED or RESTRICTED. What are you hiding from? Why don’t you want me to have your telephone number? Are you afraid I might call you back?
So, if you are one that blocks your number during outbound calls, fill me in here. Seems pretty stupid to me.
