Blocking FAX phone calls

Before we got our telephone number, it 'belonged' to someone's FAX machine.

We are getting phone calls at all hours of the day and night from FAX machines.

I called AT&T and was told that they cannot do anything about it.

Other than changing our phone number, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


TIA

I don't think there is anything else you can do. They are probably all automated faxes (efax) and not someone standing there realizing it's not going through. I wonder if you can get on a do not fax list?

That is what the customer service rep at AT&T told me...but I don't think local small companies even look at that list. They think that they are faxing to another small company.....


Thanks
