What if you want to be mysterious forever? Like a perpetually-sunglasses-wearing celebrity?
You call your phone company (Verizon, AT&T, your grandma’s weird local provider). You say, "I want permanent call blocking."
They will either flip a switch or send you a special code like *70. Boom. Every call you make is now private.
Warning: This blocks your number for everyone. Even the pizza guy. Even your mom. She will be very confused.
The Downside Nobody Talks About
Here’s the hiccup: Some people block blocked calls. Irony alert!
Bank robbers don’t answer blocked numbers. Neither does your dentist. They think you’re a telemarketer.
Also, 911 always sees your number. The police have super-powers against *67. Don’t prank call them.
