Dead Air Calls

"The phone is ringing but no one is there when I answer".

Your phone may have a technical problem but you may also be receiving calls from an automatic dialer that logs the time the phone is answered.  A telemarketer uses the information to indicate when a person will be at your number to answer the phone.

For more information on Automatic Dialers you can research the CRTC web site.
