Fun with Fones

I do the same thing, have a landline only because it made the overall package a bit cheaper. Seems sometimes like they cycle through calls they robo dial, I'll have a couple weeks with nothing, then a week where when I get home each night I have a dozen or more. Most are just no message hangups, but every now and then I'll get one where they threaten to arrest me or cutoff some service if I don't answer. I just ignore the whole lot.

We still do have a landline - partly for work - but mostly because I am simply not interested in have people have 24/7 access to me on my cell.
 
We got rid of our landline and all the robo calls we used to get at dinner time have stopped!
JP- I have an iPhone and you can automatically silence it from say 9pm - 8am in the settings so only people on "your list" can reach you. When you get up in the morning, you can retrieve any messages you get during the private time.

Oh I totally do that! Do Not disturb, but, I try not to hand out my phone number because I am generally not interested in receiving phone calls during my day.
 
And those old phones still work when the power goes out,
& I don't think you can break them.I've got a desk one that I got from my
Mom.I just can't seem to get rid of it.
