Who thinks all telemarketers should be banned from calling your house? They are aggravating and wastes people's time on stuff you don't have money to buy or subscribe to anyway. Tell me what you think on this.

I can't stand when telemarketers call...There is never a good time that they call. But Thank God for caller ID as if I see it is a telemarketer or no one that I know then I don't answer the phone. Let my voice mail catch it. I have been put on the DO-Not-List when that first came out and I have to say we hardly get any calls now..But the key is becareful when you go to like a fair or a convention you fill out any Free give aways as you are opening your number up for them to call you...It is best not to fill out any forms like that for any give aways...Just a helpful hint..

I did the Do-Not-Call list thing too, but that doesn't stop them. Ther are very persistent. I do have privacy director and now I have the option of declining the call.

I don't like telemarketers at all. When they call, I ask them where they got my number and I tell them to please not call anymore. But they still do. I don't shout at them though I know they are just doing their jobs.

Yeah, unfortunately, they are doing their jobs, but that doesn't change the fact that they are aggravating.

I think tele-marketing should be banned.There is no use of telemarketing.Actually most of the people says no but still they call,probably that's their job.

Well as much fun as it would be to ban such annoying things , i realize that everybody has a job to do , i feeol bad for them most ties cause they literally sit at the phone all day making calls trying to make a sale and maybe out of 100 calls a day they make 2 sales if they are lucky , and the rest of the time they get hung up on cussed out or have conversations with toddlers LOL its a bad job but sombody has to do it , lol you may think by my response that im a tlemarketer :P and i guess you could say i am in a way but i dont call ppl all day i only call ppl back who have seen my sites and leave me a message for more info ;) its alot easier on my phone bills LOL ~M~

Just out of interest,, those here in the UK that do the telemarketing now seem to use a withheld number so you dont know who it is! well now as a result I will not answer the phone if it is a withheld! Now I have a policy! If they cant be bothered to let me know who they are! Then I cant be bothered to speak to them! Im only sorry when it is genuine callers and not these tele-canvesers Lynn-Marie
