I would not listen to it. Just send a text

I don't have a voicemail set up specifically because I don't want to dial in to check it. If you're a real person just text me to get my attention.

Dunno about other countries, but in Brazil you have to pay to listen to your voicemail

There was a time where spam calls didn't exist? I am pretty sure 2 seconds after Alexander Bell tested the first pair of phones, someone tried to sell him an extended warranty for his car.

If you want to be rescued sub to my OnlyFans site.

I know this trick, it's a virus

No, if a company was calling me and I didn't want to talk to them, I'd still be better informed with caller id.

A spam call would be ignored because I wouldn't recognize the business name

Actually, in this case, it's partially the opposite.

The Madison River Telephone Company (later CenturyLink and now Lumen) started blocked calls and services from Vonage (VOIP) in 2005 because VOIP was a threat. The FCC stepped in and ruled against Madison River in what was really the beginning of Net Neutrality legislation.

Their ruling established that phone carriers couldn't discriminate against other services accessing their network and its features. Among those features is Caller ID. Since any. VOIP phone system doesn't actually originate from a telephone exchange, so they all essentially have to "spoof" their Caller ID.

The phone companies can't block CallerID spoofing from spamme4s and scammers without violating a 20yo ruling from the FCC.

"every tool available" okay text me then

Well then since they presumably got the missing person's number from someone that knows them and knows they were missing, maybe they should've called from that person's phone

Then this is perfectly normal. Why would I answer a phone number I don't recognize when I'm out enjoying solitude? I imagine it was on DND and he never even saw the call.

What a weird article.
