    I just no longer answer anything I don't recognize.
    If it's a legit call they can leave a message. If I'm here
    and I hear the message, I'll pick up and apologize,
    explaining that I avoid spam calls. In almost every
    case they laugh and agree, saying they do it, too.

    That points to another nice thing about landlines:
    Answering machines, that allow you to hear a message
    as it's left and don't share your messages with Verizon.

    I really dislike Verizon voice mail (and probably that of all the other internet providers) because there is no indication I have a message
    until I pick up the handset, and I only do that every day or 2 or 3.

    Completely OT in these two groups.
