[FRIAM] Dumb phones?

[Tom Johnson]

I doubt it's the phone that's the problem.  It's your carrier and/or the
fact that random numbers are dialed.  And if you ever answered one of those
calls, that puts you into a special class of Let's-Call-Him-Again, a
category that is sold and resold to other bad guys.
