We received 22 telemarketing calls day before yesterday and 17 yesterday. They insist on talking to my husband who supposedly filled out an on-line survey - not. I finally redid our message to tell them to take us off their list. Tried turning off the answering machine and not answering, but the phone was ringing 15 times before they hung up! I had one number that kept calling when I had told them about five times to take us off the list. I told the gal that I had told them repeatedly to take us off the list. Then I proceeded to blow a refree-style whistle in her ear. They didn't call the rest of yesterday. I'll try the # sign hint, since I have to listen to the whistle, too!
