1 Ring Hang-up Calls
I am constantly (5 or more times a day) getting calls where it rings once and then nothing. The caller's number does not show up in the caller ID on my phone, but if I am watching TV I will see the number displayed on the TV screen for a moment. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

It takes 2 rings tor the Caller ID information to appear on the Caller ID of your telephone. Apparently, only 1 ring for Caller ID on TV.
One ring is indicative of call-blocking software in your home; however, I'm sure you'd know if you had a call-blocker. Mouth is correct about "phone trollers." Companies can war-dial a block of numbers and whichever numbers connect (ring) would get added to a list. This company could use the data or sell it to other companies.

Me too. Midwest City, OK. I subscribe to NOMOROBO and understand that 1 ring means that NOMOROBO intercepted the call. But I have a number of daily calls that appear on Caller ID, usually as just a town name, that ring multiple times. When answered there is nobody there. I would estimate that one in ten calls answered is actually someone calling. I do wonder how many people call and have their call intercepted?
