Rudely awakened by Spam callers. A plague upon all such scum.

My phone number whenever I sign up for anything stupid is always 0412345678. If they want to reach me, they can reach me by email where I can just mark as spam.

Go to settings --> phone, scroll down a bit, select SILENCE UNKNOWN CALLERS

anyone not in your contact list doesn't ring and goes to vmail

I love this concept. But it wasn’t my phone that rang. Boyo has genuine work need to have unknown numbers on at hours I consider obscene. Working on that changing.

Back when landlines were the only thing, I kept a bosun’s whistle next to the phone

I really like that Google Pixels can decipher what's a spam call, and if not they have a screen call which I appreciate. But it's always funny when there's a genuine call and people think it's voicemail.
