Absolutely useless system. We had two spam calls within an hour yesterday morning and yes, we have the spam blocking activated. The Telus blocking system on my cell phone actually works. Apparently the Shaw engineers aren't as bright as the Telus ones, otherwise they would have figured some kind of work-around for our landlines. The ONLY reason we have a Shaw landline is because it's part of our bundle. But even that "perk" isn't much of a perk.
@Soupy2 -- what I have noticed is that the spammers are "spoofing" valid telephone-numbers that are assigned to some customer. When I call the number that the spammers are using, I get a real person, who swears that they have not called me. Or, in the case where Caller-ID shows a "1-800" number, I get connected to some company, who have some valid product(s) for sale.
So, should Shaw/Rogers' Caller-ID filtering block valid calls from those real people/companies to me?
