Call 1-888-382-1222 to put yourself on the national "Do Not Call" list (U.S.), so solicitors won't call you. You MUST call from the phone that you want on the list, and you have to do it from EACH phone, singularly.
Also, I have a landline, and I have an exterior answering machine (Wal-Mart). When people leave a message, if I don't mind talking to them, I pick-up when they speak.
It seems telemarketers in our part of the country just ignore the DNC list. Reporting them doesn't seem to make any difference.
We use an answering machine as well.
They pretty much ignore the DNC list, unfortunately. Some will skirt it by starting the call with, "this is a survey" despite the segue into an obvious sales pitch for XYZ. Others simply ignore the list altogether, and give a false company name if asked.
