I get A LOT of calls from 800/888 numbers, both on my cell phone and my home phone. I know I need to do the blocking thing, but it keeps slipping my mind (or I just get too damn lazy to do anything about it).
Of course, a few of those 800/888 callers are from collections (oops :x) but the vast majority are telemarketers. Anyway, I make it a point to NEVER answer a call coming from an 800/888 number. Any of you avoid certain calls on a regular basis? |

I used to avoid all telemarketers by just saying, "She's not available right now" when they asked for my mom.
I don't need to anymore since my family doesn't have a land line anymore; we all just use our cell phones. |

QUOTE(Synesthesia @ Jul 1 2008, 08:38 PM)  I used to avoid all telemarketers by just saying, "She's not available right now" when they asked for my mom. I don't need to anymore since my family doesn't have a land line anymore; we all just use our cell phones. ditto. when we didn't have caller i.d. and i'd answer i always said that whoever they were asking to speak to was not available. i was never rude or anything because i know that they're doing their job but i hatd talking to telemarketers. i didn't register my number with the dnc thing, but i always screen my calls and never answer 800/888 or unknown numbers. |
