| I get them too over here in Missouri (Gladstone). They call between
|  4pm and 7 pm. But my calls are completely quite. When I answer the
|  phone, the line's dead. I thought they were automated FAX
| machines,  but now I don't know. PS - Don't waste your money on
| Caller ID. It's  gotten practically useless.
