I went on the do not call...I can so relate to this. I went on the do not call list even tho I rarely picked up the phone. I did not have caller ID as I won't give out my number to anyone and hate paying for something that should be free. Anyways, someone in my family gave my number as a contact for loans--then defaulted and the wonderful banks, collection agencies etc called me. Even when I told them that person didnt live here and never had, it continued. So I got an answering machine to take the calls and I would leave for an afternoon and the machine would be full. So I unplugged it and have not used the phone for almost 18 months. If I plug it back in for some odd reason, it starts all over. politicians, beggers etc. its unlisted, and I have a cell for my own calling. I only have the phone because first I had dial up and needed it--then I got DSL and still need it as the phone company won't sell me naked DSL. what to do? I contacted the FCC etc and all say the calls are not their problem. even when I say don't call---then the bill collectors for said evil sister and brother started coming to the house...then a process server. I have signs to not ring bell, not to step on porch, no soliciting etc. it does not stop them. I feel like a prisoner sometimes. I love this idea but the phone was the easy one to deal with-I just unplug. wish I could unplug the idiots who come to the door--and a pox on my stupid family too. which they deny ever doing.Jan Schollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15774293019956518597noreply@blogger.com
