In reply to the discussion: Anything else besides Do Not Call List to stop telemarketers? [View all]DesertFlower
(11,649 posts)on the "do not call list". my cell is with verizon and i was able to put block 5 numbers which i did -- they were from telemarketers and the bullshit lower your interest rate one. they come in from all different area codes and when you call the number back most are not available. for another $4.99 a month i can block 20 numbers.
as far as my land line before it rings they get a recording saying "this person does not take calls from telemarketers, etc." if it's a robo call they don't understand it and i'll get part of the message. i also take my phone off the receiver in the morning. i'm a late sleeper (retired) and i'm on pacific time. some of these people don't care about waking you up. i feel sorry for those who work nights and have to sleep in the daytime.
