Last one that I actually got someone on the phone I asked them to hold on while I get someone, I just set the phone down next to my pc and they were still on hold after 7mins. I just decided to hangup after that.

When they call me at my house, I tell them I'm going through a tunnel and start making static noises.

By the time they make the connection I've hung up.

I like Jerry Seinfeld's approach:

Jerry: Hello?

Telemarketer: Blah blah, switch long distance, blah blah.

Jerry: I'm sorry, I can't talk right now. How about you give me your home number and I'll call you back.

Telemarketer: Sorry sir, I can't do that.

Jerry: Oh because you don't want to be bothered at home?

Telemarketer: Well, yes...

Jerry: Well now you know how I feel. *click*

tell them they have a sexy voice (man or woman, doesn't matter) Then pretend to get off on it.
