I seem to remember what an answering machine is, but I bet many have never seen a working one.

With the prevalence of voicemail, I haven't used my Code-A-Phone in over ten years.

However, voicemail is more trouble than answering. I have Vonage with home/cell ringing simultaneously. There seems to be no rhyme or reason determining whether unanswered calls go to Vonage or Verizon Wireless voicemail. Vonage voicemails go to my email, so I must have access to my computer. Verizon Wireless requires calling in.

I was watching an episode of one of the Law & Order shows and it mentioned a fictional site called 'Spoof your phone' where you enter the numbers to be called from, called to and the number to be displayed.

Since they usually rip off real life, it left me wondering if there might actually be something like that.

Also, I have received typical robo-calls where there is no one there. Googling the number doesn't return specific info, but does indicate that it was an NRA number.
