Like many people we are inundated with phone calls we do not want. We feel like prisoners in our own home. Our only saving grace is caller ID we have with Comcast (phone and television) If we do not recognize the number we will not answer, believing if it is important the caller will leave a message.

If you use Comcast for a home phone they do have a free feature that helps.
Open your email in Comcast and click on Preferences, then click on Voice. Select Edit on Call Blocking and then check the box for Block all Anonymous Calls.

Between this Comcast feature and activating Nomorobo on our home phone we have seen a very good reduction in those annoying calls.
