Did you register your home phone and they're still calling?

What I've done for the last several years, and it seems to work as I've not had very many calls from telemarketers, is to either simply hang up while their talking, or, when they start talking, break into the conversation and tell them you're not interested and hang up before they can get a word in. I've done this for years now and I don't get bombarded with calls. I do get them from time to time, but I do what I just said and they usually don't call back.

we are registered in our state for the "no call" list.

When they call you have to ask them to place you on the "do not call list" it is an official list. The problem with just hanging up, answering machine, or saying someone isn't home is that they will continue to call and pass your info along to other companies. If you tell them to put you on the "do not call list" you are removed.

We might get 1 every 3 months or so..... Good luck

Go to the Do Not Call website . When people call, tell them you are on the no call list and if they call again you'll be happy to report them for violating it.
