I find few telemarketers like to talk to my answering machine. People who know me, know to say my name on the machine and I will pick up. I have never had that many calls though. Tartan
I only use a landline with an answering machine and robo callers rarely leave a message, otherwise they hang up.
Yesterday I got a total of 18 calls in 5 hours. 9:33am and just call the first call of the day, a hang up.
I do have a cell that is only used for family, farm business and it is not used all the time.
I am running a working 160-acre farm alone and rely on my landline machine to get messages while outside.
NJ Quilter, I will go back to the nomorobo site to see if their service for pay include the TDS company. Their free service would not except my TDS number.
