I went to Sam's last Fall and replaced my phone with 5 handsets & answer machine, I did not have the ''call block'' on my old set. I am having so much fun answering the marketing calls with "Could you pls hold for just a second ..while I block this call?" One guy said "sure..I'm sorry, what did you.....?" but I didn't let him finish lol. I'm laughing even harder when I imagine what they've said on their end. But it is so disappointing to answer a recording..I can only push the button! This phone even talks & tells me who's calling. Technology is wonderful.
