Okay so Im totally annoyed with the amount of telemarketing phone calls we have received since we signed up for Comcast Digital Voice. I have put us on the do not call list, I have told them not to call. They were seeming to call more often if anything! So I looked on comcast's website and they have this call screening where you can block numbers so I just did that! Cross your fingers that I wont be receiving anymore 8 am phone calls.

Crossing fingers...we have our number blocked, too, and it's helped a TON!

[Traci Reed]

yeah we have comcast and get an obscene amount too!

[~Julie~]

Ugh how annoying!! I hope they stop calling you

[Kim]

oh man, that sucks. If it is the same people calling after you told them not to, depending on where you live, you can threaten lawsuit. I hope the number blocking works!

I think I really have no life. Sometimes talking to telemarketers does not bother me. I think I talked to the Dish Network lady for five minutes yesterday. I like to lead them on, asking them questions, making them think I will sign up. But then I don't. I derive a wee bit of satisfaction knowing that I wasted their time (true, they are wasting my time too I guess but usually I am surfing the web @ the same time).

but calling @ 8am -- that would irk me. hope the number blocking works for you, Sarah.

Hey that's awesome!! I wish I had something like that because if I get ONE more Democratic party call - I'm gonna go to Washington and chuck my phone up that donkey's butt.

Reason #1 why we don't have a land line.

Our favorite trick to play when we used to have a land line and knew it was a telemarketer (NO ONE had our number, it was there so we could DSL and that was it, I didn't even know what the number was, lol) was to answer the phone and pretend we were cops and they had called a crime scene and would need to come in for questioning. Classic!
