Me too.

> and get heaps of scam calls

I don't anymore now that I am on the do not call register
and tell those that call anyway that the aren't allowed to
call me and tell those who are still allowed to call me to
not call me again and to add me to their own do not call list.

I don't even get one a week now.

The cops can't hunt anyone down who isnt in the country
and it would be much too expensive to do it like that with
the ones that flout the law who are inside the country,

  As others have explained, that depends on what kind of 'plan'
(subscription) the spammer has, where he's calling from, etc..

  For example my plan is unlimited calls to landlines and mobiles. So
next time, you'd better check it's not me who's calling! :-)

  But anyway, next time a spammer calls, just *ask* him! I'm sure
spammers are ever so friendly and forthcoming! :-)

  Sorry, have to go now. Have to make some calls ...

I've seen plans set up like that for mobiles, but not for land lines.
If the spammer is calling *from* a land line, no plan I've seen would
charge him differently for calling a mobile vs. calling another land
line.  That's really what I was looking for clarification on.  I take
it you're saying that in some places, a call from a land line to a
mobile costs more than a call from that same land line to a land line.

I typically let calls from any unknown number go to voice mail.  If
they don't leave a message, I look them up to see if they're known
spammers, in which case I add them to my blacklist.  Next time they
call, they get a "no longer in service" message.  If only caller ID
were not so easy to fake, this would be a great system.  My provider
also has public blacklists, to which I subscribe, so if others have
identified a caller as a telemarketer, I don't get the call.  Even with
all this, and being on our government-sponsored no-call lists, I get a
lot of spam calls.

  Such plans were quite common in many countries and in some countries
they still are. That was/is for the simple reason that the mobile
infrastructure was/is much more expensive than the landline
infrastructure.

  Then some plans were changed to same rate for calling to landline and
mobile. In most cases that meant that the landline rate was raised and
the mobile rate was lowered. That really sucked/sucks for landline to
landline calls.

  However now the same two-rates system is again re-introduced for other
services, for example for some VOIP services. Another example: Skype
calls to landlines are - a lot - cheaper than to mobiles. Of course
strictly speaking Skype is not 'calling from a landline', but for many
people it is 'calling from a fixed location'. which amounts to the same.

Because it's a lot cheaper to call numbers on a list than to call
numbers at random and see if anyone useful ever answers the call.

That makes a lot of sense.  So the difference is to not whether your
phone is land or mobile (or VOIP), but rather whether it's on a list,
which a land line will normally be on (at least here) as soon as you
get it, unless you pay extra for unlisted.  When I got VOIP, it came
with a new number, and didn't include any white pages listing.  I
"ported" my old number for convenience sake, but that meant staying on
the white pages listing.

Its all of those, because in many jurisdictions it costs a lot more
to call mobile numbers than landlines, and it isnt even possible
to call VOIPs that don't have a direct indial number.

Ours mostly don't and while you can have a white pages listing
for your mobile for free, that is optional and few bother to have
it listed in the white pages.

> I "ported" my old number for convenience sake, but that meant staying on 
> the white pages listing.

I currently don't bother with an indial number with mine,
because I have to have the landline for the DSL service,
it isnt possible to have what we call a naked DSL service
in town, a DSL service without a landline service. And
since my voip service has no fixed charge at all except
when you have a direct indial number, I just have the
voip present my landline number as its caller ID and
don't bother with another direct indial number.

Mate of mine has so many numbers that when the free
voip call doesn't get him, it's a hell of a hassle trying
all the numbers in sequence to see which will get him
when either the voip isnt ringing for some reason or
he is away from home and can be using one of a range
of mobile numbers or skype or voip on his smartphone etc.

It costs some spammers a lot more to call a mobile than to call a landline.

That's the case with my voip service, it costs me just 10c per
call to landlines, regardless of the length of the call. It costs
me 15c/minute with per second billing to call a mobile.
No fixed charge per month at all.

Yeah, I've never had one either.

I might get one a week at most and I am on the DNC too.

That's kind of how my mobile service works; no monthly charge, just
10c/min plus $1 daily charge any day I use it.  I can change to
something like 15cmin without the daily charge, but I tend to use it in
chunks, mostly on trips, so this is cheaper.  My VOIP is a straight
monthly charge.  I don't recall them even having a plan that
differentiated between mobile and land-line.
It seems to me a spammer would have to be a bit silly to go with
anything but a straight monthly charge, unlimited use type of plan.

Nothing like that here.

I do too, use it mostly on Saturdays for calling, during the garage
sale run. We coordinate the opening times using mobile phones.

It wouldn't save me anything because I pay by the minute and
most calls only cost me 12c. I don't normally spend $1 on all calls.

When I'm on a trip, there's a good chance I'll spend over two
hours on the mobile in a single day.  While at home, I go weeks without
using it, since I have the home phone.

I just checked the pages for mine (Ooma), and don't see anything that
differentiates calls to mobiles vs. calls to land lines.  I guess this
one of those things done differently here than there, whether because
of some regulatory difference or just how the companies try to maximize
profits.  When I make a call, unless I know the recipient I usually
have no idea whether the number is for a mobile or not.

Yeah, that's the big difference between here and
there, all our mobile number have a unique 04 prefix.

And we don't pay a cent when someone calls us on our mobile, unlike you lot.

Interesting.  We used to have area codes that were geographically
distinct, but that's not even the case anymore.  Numbers for mobiles
just come from the same set of available numbers as for mobile or
VOIP.  I think I like the Australian approach for this better.

Not just the Australian approach, there are actually few that do mobile
numbers the way its done in north america. Virtually everywhere else
has a unique prefix for mobile numbers so its easy to see it's a mobile
number you are calling. And easy to see what can be texted too,
although its now possible to text/SMS landlines here now.

  I think geographically distinct codes is still the norm in many
countries, instead of the exception. At least for the part of Europe
that I know, it is. And we also have unique prefixes for mobiles.

  But I guess that's what you get for being a seppo! :-) [1]

[1] From Rod's response I understand that you're American. [2]

[2] I'm Dutch and Rod has some 'special' names for me too! :-)

We just had areas that ran out of numbers as population grew, and my
area is one of those.  They added a second area code, and rather than
making a lot of people change their numbers as has been done in some
places, they made the new code available for new numbers in the same
area.  It can be confusing when two land lines in the same house have
different area codes.

Yes, you have that right.  I had to look up "seppo", so I got a laugh.

Like most Americans, I'm a mongrel.  In my case, that includes 1/4
Dutch.  Not that it does me any good.

I'm glad I joined this thread.  I've learned a bit, though I don't know
that it helps me in any practical way.

If they don't vote for Trump the world has no hope
http://www.pravdareport.com/opinion/feedback/17-09-2010/114965-obama_birth_certificate-0/
  http://bit.ly/1OdFi6O


Now, I don’t know
whhttp://pickeringpost.com/story/-i-would-not-advocate-that-we-put-a-muslim-in-charge-of-this-nation-/5387ether
Barack Obama is a Muslim or not, but he was certainly brought up as a
Muslim and “educated” in an Indonesian Madrassa as a Muslim. His
family is Muslim and he speaks Arabic with the fluency of a Muslim. He
wears an Arabic inscribed ring and bends his knee to a filthy Saudi
king and shows no deference, other than a handshake, to the Pope.

These are his words: “There is no sweeter sound on earth than the
Muslim call to prayer” which, to 98 per cent of Americans, is a sound
akin to scraping your fingers up a blackboard. “Non-Muslims  must stop
equating terrorism with Islam” he said.

Obama also says in words, “We are summoned to push back against those
who would distort OUR religion for their nihilistic ends.” “The future
must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” “We will
convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so
much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own
country.”

“Islam is peace.” “The Islamic State is not Islamic.” “As a student of
history, I also know civilisation’s debt to Islam.” “Islam has a proud
tradition of tolerance.” (WTF?) “Islam has always been part of
America.” “We will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim
communities.”

More of Obama’s words: “These rituals remind us of the principles that
we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress,
tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.” “I made it clear that
America is not – and will never be – at war with Islam.” “Islam is not
part of the problem in combating violent extremism – it is an
important part of promoting peace.”

And, “Throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and
deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.”

Enough of Obama’s words, what about his deeds then? Well he has
released six dangerous Islamic terrorists from Gitmo in exchange for
an American deserter who converted to Islam.

During the Pope’s visit he quietly released another terrorist back to
Yemen who was marked “never to be released”. He promoted and endorsed
a mosque built adjacent to 9/11 ground zero. He refuses to confront
ISIS. He is a card-carrying member of the Egyptian terrorist group,
the Muslim Brotherhood, supported its leader Mohamed Morsi and
rejected President al Sisi’s call for co-existence.

He has ensured Iran has a nuclear weapon in one of the craziest
international deals ever negotiated. Or was it crazy? He refuses to
arm the Kurds who own the only boots on the ground fighting ISIS for
fear of upsetting Turkey who, along with the Saudis, has given safe
passage and support to ISIS.

He has alienated the only serious ally the West has in the Middle East
in Israel. He has altered US Military reports to falsely show America
is winning the war against ISIS. He refuses to use the words Islam and
terrorism in the same sentence. He has stacked his Administration with
Muslims and Muslim sympathisers. He knows and uses the ISIS hand
signal of dominance. Oh I could go on and on, but it evokes the old
adage that ends with, “.... it’s probably a duck”.

So Ben Carson has made a stand and he now polls on a par with the
formerly skyrocketing, and now faltering, Donald Trump!

Carson knows what blind innocents don’t know: Islam is the only faith
that supersedes and overrides all else an adherent does and thinks.
That's what Carson is trying to say... that’s what Islam IS!

    If you are a Muslim you come as a total package.

Unlike Christianity, Islam IS the military, Islam IS the education
process, Islam IS the treasury, Islam IS the judiciary, Islam IS the
law (Shariah), Islam IS the subjugation of women and girls, Islam IS
crucifixions, the severing of limbs and beheadings. Islam IS FGM,
Islam IS the one and only Caliphate that must eventually rule over all
Western infidels.

If you deny any of the above you are an apostate of Islam... the worst
of all possible sins, because in the Islamic faith EVERYONE is born a
Muslim. That's why there is no baptising of infants, it's already a
fait accompli.

Is this the reason Obama has set the entire world on fire? No-one
could have caused this much damage accidentally. 

Has the softly-spoken, non-politician Carson tapped into the
suffering, silent majority? He knows the Koran, Shariah and the Hadith
well. Is he referring to a Muslim operative who has already
infiltrated the White House?
