Most carriers offer caller ID free of charge now, so I would recommend getting it. I like having it so I can see who is calling before I pick up. If it's my daughter's phone number, for example, I will answer right away. If it's a name or number I don't recognize, I sometimes wait to see if they will leave a message (most telemarketers do not). Some telemarketers rig their calls so a false caller ID shows up; that is what we are talking about in this thread.
