I don't get mad. I pull up pranks. Hahaha! I get all my prank tips from here http://www.callercenter.com/articles...marketers.html and I tell you, these tips sure work!

Sorry, AhsleyR, those 'magic words' do not work! I've said it over and over, I've asked for a supervisor (who is never available), I've said no in more ways than I though there were to say it and they still call back. I even reported one company to the Better Business Bureau. We are registered with the "No Call List" for all our phones. But they keep on calling. Our cable company must be really hurting because not only do they send us 'promotional specials' in the mail, they have called 3 times in the last week! I'm so tired of all of them. And the new one - sending text messages to my cell phone! There should be a law against all this because I think it's harassment.
They normally will tell you it takes about a month, once they get done stammering. I started doing this, and actually kept a record. No one called back more than once, because if I got another call, I told them the date...oh yeah, put that down, and who called. I only get calls from charities now, and I ask them to please send me money, as my hospital bills are still unpaid.

This time of the year, the politicians are worse than the telemarketers. I have an answering machine for the home phone, and the message say. Sorry, I am not available. If this is important, call my cell. When I get a call I don't recognize, I don't answer. If it's important, there will be voice mail. I google all numbers, and if it is a telemarketer, I put them on the reject list of my phone. They can call, but it won't even ring.
