[Annoying] LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

[Iowatech]

No, not any of you.
I have had about seven robocalls on the landline this evening. About stuff I'm not interested in. Bah.
Although, if you ever find yourself in this situation, here's a couple of things that I learned during the charity telemarketer wars back in the eighties that might help:
Caller ID is one of the most useful features on a phone ever. A call comes in with a nonsense ID (a couple from tonight: WIRELESS and MICHIBAN) means it it probably OK to ignore it.
Also, I've got my landline answering machine set to answer after two rings. That usually gives me enough time to answer important calls, and also to make sure that the calls with nonsense caller IDs are properly charged for disturbing me.
Sorry, just something I had to rant about.

You need to have all your friends on caller ID and then set musical tones for each "group" of friends.

And any thing else goes to answer machine...

I have to ask then. Why do you have a landline? I got rid of mine years ago when the last of the kids moved out.

I disagree, his children should not die for their father's sin, they had nothing to do with it! Everyone must carry his or her own cross. Here, our biggest nuisance is the telecom companies bombarding us every time with bogus unsolicited sms ..short messages on our mobile phones. It is so irritating that some subscribers have decided to drag to court one of the giant telecom companies here, atleast for allowing their network to be used for those unwanted messages.

My mobile device gets robo-calls , just not as many as the landline (which we are considering cancelling).

Re: LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

I kept getting collection agency calls on my cell for deadbeats who either have a name similar to mine, or, more often, the previous owner of my cell number.

Judging by the numerous agencies that have called, she must be a real winner.

Seems that no matter what you tell them, they promise to stop calling, but don't.

I must have added at least 30 of these numbers to my "ignore list", and I think I may have finally rid myself of them.

I realize that there may be some legitimacy behind the calls, but it gets extremely irritating.

Re: LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

If you believe your sms messages are not being tracked think again.
I sent my wife text message one evening to grab some wine on the way home.
Two days later my snail mail box is jambed with advertisement wine brochures.
If the telcom can track a wine message why can't they stop a virus program coming into your broadband network?

He probably sterile and that is why he came up with such a hideous idea.

Re: LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

I get debt collector calls sometimes. Last guy who had my cell number must have took a big shit on all his creditors.

Had one give me the last 4 of the guys social security number. With that I can really string them out on the calls.

A couple of my customers are debt collection agencies, so I've learned just what to say to really torque their nads.

When they want to verify place of residence, I give them random addresses in my apartment complex. A few times the sheriff office has showed up to serve civil processes. It costs collectors money to file that shit. Lol.

Maybe one day they'll find the elusive Frank Johnson.

I like that, I'll have to see if my phone can do that.
