Lanier, I am not sure about that. At times we get 30 calls a day. If I answere they hang up because I just tell them my husband is not home. That did not help, so we bought an answereing machine and let the robot voice answer. Now they hang up before the machine takes over. I have considered calling the phone co. We have caller ID which doesn't help. They came through as Unknown name and Unknown number. Unfortunately some of these unknowns are people I want to talk to and they know not to call late. If I find out who to stop this, I surelly will post it. In truth they have taken my phone away from me. It is truely a lot of trouble. p. l. maddux wrote: > George and all list members, as soon as you realize that it is a > telemarkerter on the line (usually within 5 or 10 words), say loud and > clear "I'm not interested, GOODBYE" and hang up the phone.
