Robocall from Alabama area code. I need to look this up again but my understanding is that when a robocall asks you to “Press 1 to hear more” or to “Press 2 to be taken off our *SPECIAL* list” they are essentially throwing out a telephonic fishing lure. If you hit any button then you are considered to have opted in, regardless of whether you hit the 1 or the 2 button. Press one button and whoever is behind the robocalls has full privilege to bombard you with future calls.
A few years ago I called Verizon from one of the phone booths at the New York Public Library to cancel the landline account. The call proved to be unnecessary, as opening the magicJack account itself automatically initiated the cancellation of Verizon. I keep magicJack open mostly for old time’s sake, to keep the old landline number alive. All it gets is crap calls like this.
