Question

How do I get phony advertisements and companies to stop calling my phone?

Answer 1

sign up for "do not call" lists

Answer 2

First ---- realize its not a person thats calling but a computer.... When the computer heres the word hello it automaticaly connects you to the telemarketing person....  When the computer hears an answering machine it can tell the difference because it hears --- hello, we are not in right now, but if you leave your........ Experiment by picking up the phone and dont say anything.... It will be dead -- then you will hear it hang up...  OR when it rings just say hello, we are not in right now but if..... It most likely will hang up because the computer thinks your an answering machine.....  What I did was get a recording of the phone company disconnect tones.... Some telemarketing computers will hear this tone and automaticaly delete your # thinking its dead.... Just record it to your answering machine...

Answer 3

Actually, do not call lists don't work.

My suggestion is for you to look into a service your phone company might have.... mine screens my calls for me so that I know who is calling before hand.... with ATT it's called privacy screening.

The other option is for you to change your number.
