There's nothing polite about anything posted at CP in The Lounge.

I take this back; I just found some polite stuff ...

I just got a sales call from 555-555-5555.
I wish all of the sales idiots would start using this so my rejected number list could get smaller...
BTW, does anyone know if there's a limit to how many numbers the rejected phone numbers list holds on a Samsung phone?

So... you expect people to open a link you posted rather than simply supplying the data you found? I've taken to not opening links in messages because, well.. people can't be trusted.
|
|
|
|
|
Well if you mouse hover over the link you will see that it points to google,
and doing that you also get
1. the most up to date results - not some stale copied/pasted info
2. more sure it's real info (the copied info may be altered before pasted)
3. correctly formatted at source as not all css/html pastes well into cp
4. and if you've set security properly you can't get bitten clicking on a link
or you can go on living in the dark
Sin tack
the any key okay

Or.. I can do the search myself, but the point was about providing information rather than simply providing a reference to the information.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, can see that but I'm the opposite in that I prefer the reference - particularly if to or links to reputable info such as the manufacturers page - to be more sure it's genuine rather than a guess, joke, fake, outdated or non applicable.

Certainly when at last there is no more memory left to store them.

From what I know, it's limited only by the amount of storage on the phone.

we got a do-not-call register, plus regulators that take action on offenders.
before that came in if I heard the typical sales intro lines I'd do the 'please wait' and put them on hold (put the phone down in front of a radio, or if no music put the phone in a drawer or next to the cat.)
Sometimes they'd try again, but seeing as they are up for call charges (and in large call centres monitored / performance measured) would usually give up.

So do we. When the criminals running the operation are overseas hunting them down is a major law enforcement effort. While at least some of them do eventually end up with extended all expense paid stays in Club Fed. the allure of a easy millions keeps more cockroaches coming in to try their luck.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I want a phone that will accept only whitelisted numbers instead of the other way around...

I think I saw that on my fresh S8+, only accept calls from people in your contact list. I rejected the option, who wants to miss an opportunity to twit a sales scammer.

Actually the ones I get are usually automated so yeah they get blocked.
I think I was blocked by Microsoft who found I had a problem with my laptop and wanted to help me fix it. I managed about 15 minutes before the poor sod realised I was baiting him.
Also the local wealth management for expat companies now avoid me as well.

Whenever "Microsoft" calls me about a problem with my computer, my first question for them is which one, as I explain to them I'm a software developer and I have about 10 physical machines, then laptops, tablets and phones, and on top of that maybe 60 additional VMs running various versions of Windows and Linux. They insist my computer has a unique ID, but then, they can't provide anything that matches any of my machines.
They never last very long and they are always the ones who hang up first. I guess this isn't in their script.

Does the expression "a can of worms" mean you didn't check the "use by" date?
