    phone spam is getting to the point where we need blacklists and whitelists. wildcards on names, numbers in caller-id. or even trapping on lack of caller-id.

    arms race they want? we can meet that challenge.

    and you can start by putting this three-note beep on your answering machine; before whatever other message you record...should fuck over the robodiallers

    I agree.
    PAy Phone that I felt did much better before deregulation. The issue was that the companies using the COCOTS systems gave more money per call* to the landlord. Of course they didn't take care of the phones, and the good service you used to get went away.

    I'll have to refresh my self on the history of payphones, but this sounds about right. The late 90s I observed that I could no longer use a calling card from many payphones. This is likely due to what you describe, more cash going toward the landlord. The price of using the landline issued calling card went up to the point it was dollars per call even for a local call.

    As far as my memory goes, it was those blasted GTE phones at rest areas which gave me the most grief.

    Payphone directory has some data on the subject.

    I got a phone call that was automated and in spanish about 2 weeks ago. I googled the number and came up with this page:

    Its not just Verizon customers. I can only hope that I (as a Sprint customer) receive some sort of "umbrella" benefit from this.
