    <p>I have Xfinity voice.  I'm not sure how it happened, but now when
      a new number calls my home, they have to press 1 before the call
      will go through to me.  This eliminates 99% of junk calls.<br>

          <div>The problem with that is that about 75% of the calls I
            get have the number spoofed.  A guy in Bangalore is not
            calling me from a number in my area code.  If I block it,
            I'll be blocking someone who may be legit, and not the spam
            caller.  <br>

            I love getting these calls for extending my auto warranty.
