By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Of course you need to make a list of friends/family/businesses and get word to them that your number has changed, but in my experience the people who really needed to get a hold of me were able to adapt to the new number. And it was just so nice to know that every time the phone rang, it was someone I knew.
Verizon has started the one ring thing, too, whenever a SPAM? calls appears.
Yesterday, 5 minutes after I woke up from taking a nap 💤, I got 3 robo-calls. It was as though the robo-computers had been watching me sleep and knew that I was now awake and available to answer their phone calls. Weird!! 😡
I don't get even 1 a month now. I guess they think I am a scammer as well because I answer in a foreign language.
It does create laughs when it is a call I am expecting from a number I am not.
Check your phone's owner's manual. On my phone I touch and hold the number I want to block and three options come up, one of which is to block. I probably have 40-50 numbers on that list.
These robocallers tap into my local area code & the first 3 numbers of our area exchange so the calls look like they are from my town.
I heard chatter last year that Congress was going to try to do something about this but with the rate our US Congress is going these days they are obsessed with litigating anything to do with our current administration.
The only people benefiting from anything Washington DC are attorneys.
Back to robocalls I have a phone to block 15 numbers. I go through that list & delete & add new numbers that call us frequently.
I absolutely hate robocalls. Unfortunately I don’t know if they can be controlled or eliminated. I have my doubts.
My husband said he read a report that said if you answer and ask them to place you on Do Not Call list it doesn’t work either. They are looking for live calls and if you pick up they know they have a live number and will keep calling. It’s terribly frustrating.
It’s random robo dialing. I started having fun with it at times. I figure if they are going to drive me nuts I will annoy them back. 🤣 haha They deserve it!
It is creepy to get a call from someone saying you called me, uh nope, sorry.
📲 📞 📳 = 📴
for a few days those darn social security scammers called me 3 times a day!
