As the robo calls get smatter, the prompt could be changed to something like "what's the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?"<br>

That way you will not be filtering based on number but<br />the ability of the robocallers to act/sound human.</blockquote><br />Like a voice grey-list. And interesting idea, and irritating for the<br />caller, but a longer hold would be better - that way it drives up the<br />caller's cost.<br /><br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;">Some of the things I
recommend you try when receiving a robocaller is<br />to hit numbers looking for an IVR menu. Maybe they left it open and<br />you could reprogram it.</blockquote><br /><br /><br /><hr /><br />grlug mailing list<br />grlug@grlug.org<br /><a href="http://shinobu.grlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/grlug">http://shinobu.grlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/grlug</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
