Unlisted phone number

It won't do any good to change it to unlisted. Cell phones are unlisted yet they still get spam and telemarketing calls, which they control with spam blockers. I'm assuming this is a traditional landline, your best bet is to get a phone with a good call blocker. What makes you think it wasn't changed?

The AT & T customer service rep gave me a new phone number and said it was unlisted.  However, when I call the new number I get a recording stating the number is not in service.  It is traditional landline.  I've spoken to 4 different customer service reps and each one tells me something different.  So far they have given me 4 different new phone numbers for each time I call.  The old number is still active and none of the new numbers have been activated.  I can't understand how a company like AT & T can't take care of a simple request.  All they want to do is sell you something.

Personally I'd cancel all orders and get a phone with call blocking features that fits her needs. Like I said, unlisted or unpublished number will do no good with the technology these scammers use.
