    Unwanted Phone Calls
    Hello:

    Do anyone know of any way or any device that can be purchased that will block incoming phone calls that you do not want. Everyday, We receive approx 15 - 20 telemarketer phone calls. That's a lot of calls not including the legitimate calls. I have submitted our phone number to the "do not call" list on the Internet over a year ago. That helped somewhat but they keep coming. I have answered their calls and told them to take our number off their list which they agree to do, but then calls start coming in from different numbers which I assume are the same companies, I can't prove that but when I tell them not to call and they agree, the next day I start getting calls again from numbers I have never received before and that seems very suspicious. With the technology available today to the average consumer, I am surprised that you can't just log onto a website or purchase a device, enter the numbers that you do not want calling you so when they do call, the phone doesn't even ring.

    Any thoughts or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Thank You,

    Paul

    Have you registered your number with the do not call list?

    It will stop all telemarketing calls. If you receive calls after that you can report them and the business will get in serious trouble.
