Depends on the bot. We have a "free" landline that comes with our FiOS package. It's seldomly used, and the answering machine takes the brunt. All we get are marketing/robocalls, wrong numbers, and a few in-person solicitations. Haven't had a Windows repair call lately, wonder what's up with that.

In your case, it's way more fun calling them back and actually trying to cash in on the offer... That is... if the call back number is actually toll free. Many are in the Caribbean, and are toll numbers, or even pay lines.

The other thing that's fun is asking about the weather there...

I've never even hooked up a phone to ours. Don't even have a clue as to what the number is.

We ported our old POTS number when Verizon finally strung fiber under our street. It took years to come up with a reasonably effective spam blocking regimen, so that was a pita. But the good part is call forwarding to my cell phone anywhere in the world in reach of a tower or Wi-Fi.

Cheers!
