Do not call list

[KenK]

I entered my phone number and email address at the do not call list web
site to verify my number is on the list. Two days ago. No response at all.
Any one else?

I get a lot of telemarketing calls.

TIA

There never were any teeth behind the do-not-call list. Telemarketers
ignore the concept.

I registered online a while back, but you can also try registering by
phone by "calling 1-888-382-1222 from the phone you want to register."

I started getting more recently, and a feature my land line phone provider
has called "No Solitication" plays a recording telling them to remove my
number from their marketing list and stay on the line if they are not a
marketer has helped a lot. You can exclude certain numbers from the list
and even partial numbers; I entered my state's area codes since all of the
annoying calls were from out-of-state and most of my legitimate incoming
calls are from this state.

Whenever I get an unsolicited call I remind the caller that surly this is not what his/her mother had in mind. I remind the caller there are many of other jobs that pay just as well, that aren't so degrading, and don't carry the bad Karma that bothering people in their homes that soliciting calls carry. I invite the caller to join me in a prayer to have our Lord assist in finding them a better job.

It all takes less than two minutes, and when it comes to spreading some sunshine, two minutes is a small amount of time to spend on a fellow human.

Besides, now I get far fewer calls. When the solicitor ends the call in tears or quits their job before hanging up (as I request), then the supervisors are less likely to allow their employees to call me.

When I use to answer the phone for these sumbags and remind
them about the DNC list I instantly got a hang up. But that
didn't stop them from calling again. My ProCaller Block
handles that annoyance now.
