Re: anyone there?

The other option, and one we had happen for several months, is that somebody is trying to fax to your phone number.

yes that is also what I have heard.  Kind of sucks that we are all answering our phones to no one all the time..  Does any know if there is any thing that can be done about that?

Visionaries,
 
For the last 1-2 weeks, our phone has rung anywhere from 1 to 3 different times almost daily with nobody (seemingly) at the other end. We are on the no-call list with the State of Idaho, so we no longer receive telephone solitications. These mysterious calls are different--not the brief pause before a telemarketer is connected, rather nobody responds to the hello even if we stay on the line and wait.
 
The reason I post this is that my parents have reported to us that they are experiencing the same thing, as is another couple we know.
 
I am wondering if this recent phenomenon is fairly widespread, or is just isolated to us. I am curious if any of you are also experiencing this. Does anyone have an explanation for it?
 
Many thanks ... and enjoy Thanksgiving.
 
Susan Palmer
