My landline receives calls at all hours of the night from various numbers. There is never anyone on the line, and it appears to be from some sort of auto-dialing system. I called Verizon support a couple of months ago, and they told me to block the numbers. The problem is, the calls come from different area codes and numbers every time, so that is ineffective. I asked if there is an option to block auto-dialer calls, as service which other phone companies provide, but they informed me that Verizon does not provide this service to its customers. They then told me to turn on Do Not Disturb during hours that we sleep. This is less than ideal, since we it means that nobody can reach us in the middle of the night, even people we know who may have an emergency.
I have turned on Do Not Disturb, but the phone keeps on ringing. I have logged into my Verizon acount online and confirmed that the service is setup, but we received a call at midnight two days ago, and we received calls at 2:30am and 5:00am this morning. Please help. My wife is pregnant, we both work full time, and the disturbance in our sleep is very frustrating. We are tempted to simply get rid of our landline to solve this issue.
