Ah, but that's the value of the strategy!

Your roofer or doctor or whoever should have only a local area code. So out of those 27 spam calls, you only need to answer the 2 that came in from where you live now.

That's a 90%+ reduction! Not a bad strategy.

Sorry, pedant at work...

Presumably the 18 random area calls would have been ignored in any case.

So the real reduction is 7/9, which is is a 77% reduction. Not bad, but not 90%+.
