5. Seriously? You don't have caller ID?

Are you in 1965, somehow communicating with us in 2024?

I'm under the impression that Caller ID is pretty much automatic in any and all phone services. You need to talk to someone with your server and get caller ID.

It's the best thing ever. I can answer calls from people I actually want to talk to, can ignore everyone else.

And someone who called you and spoke in some foreign language has zero ability to try to program your router or grab any data from your computer. That's not how such things work. Seriously. Learn a bit more about these things.

Hanging up on a call made to your phone is going to need somewhat more than a quick hit of the off button. Hang up the phone and leave it alone for thirty seconds. If the call is still there, hang up again for five minutes. Trust me, they won't still be there.
