Phone calls that can't seem to be disconnected easily [View all]

I've had 3 landline calls today from some person jibbering in some unrecognizable foreign language. Sounds Asian to me. Caller doesn't understand "wrong number!"

But the third one wouldn't hang up. I kept hanging up and the call was still there. Clicking the hangup button didn't work. This went on for almost a minute. I finally kept punching in random numbers. I think they hung up, rather than me.

I don't have caller ID, don't know where the call originated. I wondered if they were trying to program my router, or grab data in some way I've not heard about. Could that reach into my router and computer?

I'll probably leave the phone off the hook for a week. And I would have no idea who to report this to. Verizon will send out a tech in about 10 days at $187.50.
