In reply to the discussion: I'm about to blow my lid. Phone calls for Medicare supplemental insurance are driving me insane. [View all]customerserviceguy
(25,183 posts)37. I had a landline phone
back in 2005, and I worked nights, so had to sleep during the day. I found a phone that needed to be plugged into an AC socket to work, and I had it put on a timer. I turned the ringers off on the phone in my bedroom. That way, if I got any calls during my sleep period, I wouldn't hear them ring. During my days off, I turned the ringer back on for my bedroom phone, so I could get calls during the day.
Good to hear that things are looking up for the future, all the best to you.

If they're legitimate companies, they won't call if you have a DO NOT CALL registration...

Also, if they are legit, they won't be spoofing other people's phone numbers.

I keep them on the phone for a few minutes and then say, call again so I can waste more of your time
