Do you find having a private number, if you have one, is beneficial to stopping prank calls and endless streams of badgering telemarketers?
Does it annoy you when someone calls you on a private number and you can't see who is calling?

It seems to not matter anymore. You still get calls you don't want.

Having a private number is a blessing. We can't get prank called or telemarketers calling during dinner. The only people who can call us, are the ones who have the number. I don't mind getting calls from private numbers Caller ID says restricted so I know it's a private home number. So I answer.

Having a silent number doesn't stop all unwanted calls, personally I don't like them as I have caller ID and it is a paing not knowing who is calling and as I also don't like last number call, sometimes I get home and find 5 or 6 calls on my phone not listed I start to worry something is wrong but I can't go calling every unlisted number in my book....

I'm not familiar with those, but I think it'd be a good idea to have one like that.
