'800 service' is generic and suggests spam, but isn't always.

That sounds like a junk call, like "TOLL FREE CALL". Do you have any
idea why phones won't block calls by "NAME"? It would help a lot with
these junk calls

caller id only sends the number.

the name is obtained by a cnam lookup by the destination central office
and only for landlines. if there is no name info in the database for
the number, it will show something generic. it can also be wrong.

On both our cell and landline phones, if the cell number is in your
phone's contact list, Caller ID will use that.

then you have an unusual landline phone.

Just a cordless phone (one base, three handsets) with contact list facility.

Can you please stop this being-sensible nonsense!?

If 'we' want square wheels that's up to us and because 'we' want them,
you must use them too! Capice!?

Sheesh! Next thing you'll want to use standard Android folders instead
of Arlen-invented ones!
