Singles need to think about their safety. Once someone has your phone number, he/she can often get your address. |
Beware Caller ID Some singles will use caller ID to acquire your telephone number without your permission. Scenario: you are out with friends when a guy approaches and says, "I'd really like to talk to you sometime. Call me if you ever feel like it." He hands you his phone number. What is the next step here? What would you normally do? |

Using caller ID, some single can get your phone number--even someone you might never give that number. |
You probably would not have given him your home or work number because you always have guys call a voice mail or your smart ring first for safety. But some lonely night you pick up the phone and call him. He has caller ID and now he has your phone number. Once he has your phone number, he might be able to get your address. And once he has your address, he could hurt you. Always press *67 before you call to disable his/her caller ID. Or better yet, call the phone company and see if you can have caller ID permanently made "anonymous."
SOLO for Singles: Readers' Comments I followed your advice and called to get my ID listed as
anonymous. Would you believe the lady at the phone company tried to talk me out of it? What's the deal
here with the phone company? Anyway, I did change it to anonymous and it was a great idea!
Thanks. |
