I have thought about this and am hesitant to give the government anything 
of mine.
I find that simply having caller ID and not answering the phone when it 
says the caller number is "unknown" has cut out 99% of all telemarketing 
calls.
The other 1% are daring enough to let their number show which in any case 
I can still choose to answer or not.
