RB5_245

It's bad enough being phoned by call centers, but the one's who use auto diallers then connect you once you've answered

So here's my solution:

"hello"

"Hello I'm calling from ....."

"yes"

"would you be interested in this thing we have that you obviously don't want"

"yes I would"

"blah blah blah blah"

"can you hold on for just one second please"

(sales person) "erm... ok"

Phone gets thrown on bed and I go and watch TV, or come on scoobynet.... There's one on the line right now

I don't think it'll teach them a lesson but it makes me happy.

Hope you are listening to them too, just to check they haven't transferred the call to a premium rate line

Surely they can't call me and charge me for it without my consent??

Takes about 3 months to come into effect but after that you will get no unsolicited sales calls what so ever!

Try a personal alarm against the mouthpiece, will probably cause irrepairable damage though.
