My Mom had her ID blocked. My sister does as well. They somehow think blocking it blocks getting unwanted calls.

I asked my Mom why she didn't take it off and she couldn't really say. Unless you want to crank call someone in the middle of the night why do you need it on there?

And to make it even better Mom's ID is blocked and my Aunt had her phone set not to accept blocked calls. So every call between them turned into a whole thing. Sigh.

My mom was at least clever enough to program her auto dial to dial the code to temporarily disable the ID blocking so she could call my sister (who blocks unknown callers).

I think my mom's "logic" for blocking he ID was that she didn't want companies she called to be given her name and number. *shrug* She actually unblocked it about a year ago, which shocked the hell out of me. Never got around to asking if she actively chose to unblock it, or if they just changed providers or something and didn't bother blocking it.
