IIRC these calls were successful at getting picked up because of recipient
 curiosity. They were quite common here (AZ US) for awhile and actually had
 newspaper warnings advising folks not to pick them up...

I used to get my own number appearing if someone sent a text message to
my phone. It would ring, showing my number, and when I answered it a
computer would read out the text. So, maybe people answer it thinking it
is a text message.

And legitimate people who want to reach you have to leave a message and
hope you gonna call back?

A wireless phone should also display the number of the caller, so you
can decide wether to answer it or not. When you add the people you know
to the phonebook, you may even see their names and when then there is no
name but just the number when the phone rings, this may also indicate a
spammer call.

Yes.  FCC has allowed this for a very long time. It will continue; 
perhaps even get worse.  What little the FCC ever did will diminish even 
further.

They've probably all been fired under the current regime, but we won't 
notice, since they were never functional anyway.

Praise Jesus.

A friend at one time used put the numbers of various TKs on the caller 
ID when calling me!

(He had legitimate access to changing the caller ID).

.... and whilst they are leaving a (reasonable length) message, I have 
time to get to the phone.
