RE: anyone there?



Susan,
You are not the only one experiencing this.  Our home has recieved repeated mysterious calls with nobody on the line.  It appears to me that we often then recieve a telemarketer's call within the hour.  I have assumed that these dead calls must be an automated system searching for numbers with people at home?  If anyone else knows the reason I'd be interested also.  I will be signing up on the state no-call list this week as I have tired of what seems to be 2-3 telemarketer calls a night!

Subject: anyone there?

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
