"We're sorry. The last incoming call cannot be traced because it is out of the service area or marked private".

My phone line is currently experiencing "multiple Issues" and I had to disconnect all phones. (one of the "issues" was that they kept dialing 911 and the cops were getting grumpy...) I miss having a phone. I do not miss the robo-calls! In fact, I laugh every time I think of them tryng to reach me. :)
