I have laid the phone down and let them or their recording talk to the phone table. Twice I have locked their system up for over half an hour till I finally hung up.

Laying the phone down works for me.

Although I do enjoy playing with those guys from “Microsoft.” My typing skills just go to hell when I talk to them. “:)

On my various recordings I started with the 'this phone is disconnected' 3 tones. Used to be that the calling 'computer' would recognize these tones and delete my numbers.

Now, I've read that our cell phones numbers will soon be released to telemarketers. There is another government number to call in order to opt out.

If you have a toddler, let them talk to the telemarketer. If they’re going through potty training — bonus!!!
