Default Phone company enabling spam callers?

I just got a spam call on the company on-call phone and tried to call it back to tell them to pi$$off. Got a weird reply. Tried twice. 780-971-5656
"This number is not in service" message. WTF!
How the hell can it be not in service if it just called me? Just called the operator and she said that they must have bought "one-way calling" feature. Again WTF!
I asked her if that was legal to buy "one-way calling" then spam call people. Apparently to the Phone Company, this is not a problem.

Gee. Maybe I should re-sign up to a no-call list that they sell to a US company and my spam calls can increase by a factor of 10.....again.

With Internet phones and modern technology you can mask yourself as any number you want.
