ceagleAnybody have caller i.d. ?
What the heck good is caller i.d. when it can be spoofed so easily??
Have you gotten readouts that were clearly false... like 999-999-9999 ?
I dunno how they do it, but it certainly dimishes the value of the system quite a bit.
It's great for answering from people you know, but lotsa times, even from people ya know, there will be 'unknown caller', so either ya have to pick it up anyway, or listen to the screening on the answering machine and hope they talk. Bleh.
It's systems like this that have been implemented with incomplete thinking, which also keeps me from signing up for stuff like a "don't call list" ... Who dreamed THAT up?? Put your name *ON* a list to not get called, and then require you to update your registration regularly or else your number moves over into general circulation, even if it wasn't there before? ;P
Any system that *cared* about us would be a list of people you *can* call, not a list of people you *can't* call. rarrrrgh!! bureaucracy.... ;/
