Is it worth registering my number with the federal government (which presumably already has access to my information) to avoid spam calls? Does it work? Is there a downside?

    So that’s what that is. I haven’t heard of the call screening thing til now but lately half the time I call clients I get this weird answering machine telling me to say my name and what I want and I never know what to say so I just launch into my usual voicemail spiel until it cuts me off and the client answers

    Gotta say, I think I prefer just leaving a voicemail for clients

      Sounds like exactly what it does. And you’re treating it right, if they don’t answer it sends what you said to voicemail.
