When the call ends without a voicemail, it feels like a block. Most reports describe silent rings from a number that shows up as Howell, MI and claims to be a political survey, yet never leaves a message. This pattern is typical of nuisance or scam‑suspect calls that rely on repeated rings to pressure a callback. Best practice is to let the call go to voicemail, then block the number and report it to the FTC or your phone carrier. Add the number to your Do‑Not‑Call list, and consider a call‑filtering app that flags unknown silent callers. Keeping a log of timestamps can also help if you need to dispute unwanted calls later.
Apparently, this automated number is still in use, but similarly to others, it never leaves a voicemail. As a resident of California, I'm unfamiliar with anyone in the 517 area code, so I've chosen to block it.
A call was received at 2:50 PM today, immediately followed by a hang-up after the answering machine message played
There was no message left.
Daily calls have been received from this number, causing persistent disruptions.
It appears some medical offices have multiple numbers, with only one including the doctor's name without the title; other numbers provide no identification, leading me to believe these offices are irresponsible in not properly identifying themselves, as even a simple message with a name would be appreciated.

This number calls multipul times, stays on the line long enough to trigger a blank voicemail, which is very anoying, and then hangs up with no mesage
My workplace receives daily calls from unknown numbers with no caller ID information

These nuissance callers are so annoying, there should be a way to filter and stop them, they dont seem to have a life
This number has made multiple calls, but thanks to caller ID, I've avoided answering. No messages have been left on my answering machine, making it a significant nuisance.

The cal history showd they cald my house 4 times in one minit, they are blockd but they keep trying
Multiple calls have been received from this number, which is registered to Howel, MI, but no messages have been left; upon calling back, a recording offered to add my number to their do-not-call list, but the message repeated indefinitely, leading me to block the number due to frustration.
Despite numerous reports of this number being a scam, they continue to call, attempting to pose as a political survey. It's frustrating that they persists in trying to reach me, even after being blocked.
