If I get a robocall from anyone I ignore it. If you want to talk to me, then call as a person...
My husband gets the mail in and he brings all kinds of junk mail in.
I’ve found do not call to be pretty effective. I went from multiple corporate calls a night to one or two a week. Except during election season since they exempted themselves.
Doesn’t matter. Just don’t answer calls from numbers that you do not recognize and if you are to cheap to invest in a caller ID it’s your own fault
The article in a nutshell:
***
Dems own the world of social media - which is not affected by the new FCC rules - so those engaged in social media (young folks) will “get the word” - from dems.
The largest GOP base is older Americans - who, because of the new FCC rules won’t “get the word” - from pubbies.
***
What to do? Wring our hands? Curl up into a ball and moan?
Perhaps the pubbies simply need to get better at social media - duh!
I don’t really see the news here. My phone company, CenturyLink, already lets us block up to 100 numbers. The trouble is sort of that many robocallers, Ben Carson has been the worst lately, use multiple numbers, that are never identified as other than toll free. So you don’t want to waste a bunch of “blocks” on numbers that won’t be around for long.
But caller ID pretty much fixes that. I never pick up un-identified numbers. Then I set my own phone to trip them out after the first ring. Sure saves me a lot of footsteps.
If blocking calls from pollsters somehow managed to put Karl Rove out of business, I’d be 110% for this.
Not buying what this guy is selling.
I do that too, and I asked each person to pick the song they want as the ringtone. Rolling Stones "Monkey Man," Blue Oyster Cult "Godzilla" and B52s "Love Shack" are examples. If I don't know the number, it rolls to voice mail and I can check delete it at my leisure.
I've read the Bill of Rights and nowhere do I find that a ringing phone has a right to be answered.
Dont answer calls.
My daughter lives in Amarillo, so I used to have Amarillo by morning on my old cell phone, but it’s not on Zedge. For my son I have Bad to the Bone and for those calls I have a ring tone that’s called Answer me
I never answer my land line either ...ever ... but my hubby will if he recognizes the number.
We were getting robo calls w/ some really weird numbers ... numbers that couldn’t be blocked because it wasn’t recognized as an actual phone number. For example: 9075451 or 123456 is what would show up on the phone. I knew it was some robo/automated call and didn’t really care. But the spouse ... well it would annoy the snot out of him.
Called Comcast (don’t judge ... it’s our only choice if we want any tv at all). Anyhoo ... they have a program they will tell you about that recognizes a robo number. It rings twice (the setting I selected) and then it stops ringing and we never get another call through from that line.
And re the whole survey and this hurting R’s ... I live in WA state. Not like a R’s going to win here anytime soon.
$50K fine and 6 months in jail for all executives of any firm anywhere using these.
And that’s for the first offense. Flaying alive would suit me fine for the second.
