A BIG H/T to Techguru on MilePoint for this one.
Trapcall is a subscription based service for mobile phones that unmasks blocked caller ID. One of my peeves is the anonymous caller ID and it looks like this will eliminate it. One of the features of trapcall is that you can blacklist unblocked phone numbers which really will help reduce the amount of times I pick up the phone just to hear a sales pitch.
There are 3 levels of service, and pricing varies accordingly. You can learn more at www.trapcall.com
By the time you read this, I will be a new subscriber!

In news from Frankfurt earlier today, sides have agreed to end the strike. The strike was called off after the sides agreed to sit down and discuss the pay increase issue that had prompted the walk out.
The strike officially ends 10:00pm Frankfurt local time and negotiations are scheduled to resume tomorrow.
To get caught up on what has been happening with the strike over the last several days, you can see my posts HERE, HERE and HERE.

Earlier today Reuters had reported that a CSA Czech Airline (Skyteam) pilot passed away during a flight from Warsaw to Prague. No doubt this created a harrowing experience for all aboard. Fortunately the co-pilot landed the plane with out incident and all passengers are safe. Being of Slovak heritage this one hits a little closer to home than most airline stories. My condolences and sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues. VICNAJA PAMJAT…..
The Press Release From Reuters:
Feb 15 (Reuters) – A Czech Airlines plane made an emergency landing in Prague on Wednesday after the captain collapsed and died in mid-flight, the company said.
The ATR propeller aircraft on a regular flight from Warsaw to Prague with 46 passengers on board, landed under the control of the co-pilot and no one was injured.
“Safety of passengers was not threatened. The landing was conducted without complications by the second pilot,” the airline said in a statement.
“Unfortunately the life of the captain could not be saved,” the statement said. Czech Airlines is the state-owned Czech national carrier. (Reporting by Jan Lopatka; Editing by Roger Atwood)
