I've got my work business phone # setup to Sim Ring both my office phone and Blackberry at the same time. So whether I'm in or out the office, I don't miss business related calls. And being that I switch mobile devices constantly I don't bother giving anyone THAT # out since they simply just have to call the business # and I get the call.

Any who. Lately I've been getting a flood of telemarketing calls conducted by outsourcer's who can barely speak a word of English outside of their script. So any words outside typical responses, they use the same rebuttal and I can't get them to understand they are calling a business and to take me off their list.

I've even tried calling the #'s back to attempt to speak to someone in the US but they come back as disconnected. :dunno:

Cliff Notes: I need to get my work phone # changed.

 

theres a national do not call list, go to google and do a search for it and it'll come up with a website where you can take your # off their calling lists

 

It doesn't help at all, in my experience. I even got an email claiming that list was in fact a scam which eventually sells your phone number to more solicitors.

 

more than 1/2 the spam calls stopped after i added our house number to the NJ and US dnc lists. :dunno:

 

Werd? Well pa sucks then...

 

:thinking:the email lied....ive put my number, my parents, and our cells on it...our telemarketers dropped by half.

 

i dont get any

 

the email you got is obviously from someone who supports telemarketing and does not want people signing up.

everyone i know (including myself) who has registered on that list has seen courtesy calls drastically reduced..

everyone should register! https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx

 

u prolly ahve no phoneh:


also, how would a .gov website be a scam to help soliciters? common sense says no

 

i have no landline but have had the same cell # for 5 yrs now
