But it could be useful for anyone who needs to see area code layouts. I realize that area codes exceed boundaries any more. Regardless of what the area code(s) is/are on a person's phone, they could be anywhere in the world where there is wireline or wireless service available. Nevertheless, some of you may find this Web site to be useful. Apologies if this URL has already been posted on Telecom Digest. I don't remember seeing it, though.

The behavior you describe is exactly how Nomorobo behaves, so I would guess that Verizon has enabled that service on your line, just as Charter Spectrum has allowed me to enable it on my landline. Caller ID info gets transmitted between the first and second ring, so if the CID is flagged by Nomorobo as a spammer, the call terminates before a second ring is heard.
