I get frequent calls ID'd as "Restricted". If I don't answer, they continue to ring for minutes,
without going to my voice mail. When I answer them there is no one who talks. After I
hang up, the call is not logged as a received call. Very mysterious. My theory is a person
can be located by answering their phone, such as the 60s & 70s burglar trick to look for houses
with no one home.
Anyway, the obvious solution should be Usage Controls >> Block Restricted Numbers, right?
Well, my caller got through again today, while the block was in place. I was able to verify this
while the caller rang for 5 minutes! The Verizon *611 phone people don't know what's going on.
Anybody else suffering from this? Or any insights? I was told I can send a written complaint by
US Mail to Customer Service in Atlanta Georgia.

Yes, $4.99/month for usage controls, I have been told.
I have only had it in place for maybe 10 days, so it hasn't
shown up on a bill yet.

Thanks for making me aware of this - youmail.com - very promising!
Looks like they serve smart phones only, which I don't currently have, but I will look into it further.
However, my overarching concern is that there is phone hacking here - somewhat like the case
in London.

You mail is available for any phone, not just smartphones. Although I have a BB now, I used it with my Voyager (not a smartphone) prior to this and it worked just fine.
