Question

I recently received about ten 777 area code phone calls from a PRISON!!! We pick up but no answer.?

Answer 1

777 calls are coming from telemarketing centers within the prison system.  Convicts work as telemarketers through outside agencies.

Answer 2

It may be an automatic dialing system.  Next time it calls, give it plenty of time to come on the line.  It may take even half a minute or more.  When it connects, tell them to take your number off their list.
