(Vanity) Need help with overwhelming JUNK phone calls on land line.
1/3/13 | Mamzelle

Posted on 01/03/2013 7:29:53 AM PST by Mamzelle

I need to keep my land line, but I'm about ready to turn the ringer off which means real calls won't get my attention. This all really started at the change of the year, and may have something to do with the small political donations. Maybe. I don't know. But it starts in the morning and ends in the early evening. One is particular is GE Capital and I do absolutely no business with them.

I went throught the "don't call" years ago.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Several, at least, per day. And we also have been on the Do Not Call list for years. I went on the Do Not Call website and reported a few of the repeat offenders, but they don’t message you with what action was taken (if any).

Downside you're giving information to google.

And Google is as much an enemy as any robocaller...

Typical of anything .gov related, 'Do Not Call' registries are a total, ineffectual farce.

THIS works like a champ !

I don’t see what the problem is.

(1) I put my number on the donotcall lists.

Very effective except during election season.

(2) I don’t answer the phone. Ever.

Everyone who knows me knows that I’m either screening calls or not home and they leave a message. Even the “This is your credit card company...” (yeah, right) people have given up.

Dead zone.

It worked! I was amazed at how well it worked. Thanks for the link. I had only seen it written about in email.
