So needless to say, I get a crap load of telemarketing calls. There is the usual things one can do, but it seems they just become more determined to keep calling.
True you can simply just let all unavailable or numbers you don’t recognize go unanswered but the ringing gets on your nerves. You don’t want to turn off the ringer because you may actually miss important calls.

1. So I decided to do several things. I changed all my phone rings to a delightful little tune I actually like hearing.

2. I turned off the ringer on my phone in the bedroom so I won’t be disturbed when I am in my room. (I have my cell with me for family members to reach me)

3. I blocked all repeat offending numbers.
And yes. I did go to the national registry to do not call list. That is a joke. They don’t block charities and all they have to do is call themselves a charity to be able to call you.

Also there are too many companies that are fly by night, and if they get a lot of complaints the companies in question close down and open up under a different name.
Since doing this. The calls have slowed down. I get maybe and average of 1–3 calls a day instead of the usual 4–10 calls.

So what do you do?
