Redial the disconnected number, put it on speaker and start recording your "greeting". Set your answering to 2 rings or less and in a short while, the calls stop! The "da da da" is picked up by the robo call machines and your number is dropped from further calling.

Would love to try this, but we still get calls from friends and doctors.

Interesting...

I found this web site where you can listen to the recordings, including "Disconnected or No Longer in Service." Just click on the little, white "play" arrow in a red box. You can probably record from this instead of trying to dial a disconnected number.

We have an answering device and what we do is not pickup any call. After a beep to record your message if the call is a recording or scam call no message is left. Works great. If we hear someone answering and we know who they are we pick up the phone and talk to them. No problems with unwanted calls.
