[quote=Anonymous]I had this issue - my old cell number (which I've used for years for both personal and business) somehow ended up on a list of "businesses we can try to scam." I got nonstop calls for loan approvals, stamp machines, all sorts of crap.

I signed up with voip.ms and ported my number over to them (don't cancel your cell number first, let the number transfer). They made it really easy. I also picked up a new "home" phone line from them with a 202 area code. Had T-Mobile give me a new 202 cell number. Using voip.ms system, I directed all the calls to a voice greeting (paid someone on fiverr to record it) that tells people to press one for my cell, two for my home, or three for my cell. Pressing the right option forwards the call. Not pressing anything takes them to a voicemail box. Recordings are emailed to me.

I no longer get spam calls on my phone. None of these people will press a button, because it's all automated. They just go to the voicemail, which is emailed to me and promptly ignored.

I now give out the "home" number to people and have added frequent callers to a list that auto-forwards without the message. I don't give out my cell number.[/quote]
