The trick to making these calls stop is to convince them that they are wasting their time and resources to call you. This is very difficult to do since the resources that they waste are small and the reward of scamming you out of your money is so great. I have found a way however. You must proceed until you get to a live person. Then tell that person in the most forceful, obscene fashion that you can that they should go engage in intercourse with themselves and then call you back to report the results. This conveys the idea that subsequent calls will not be productive and they remove your number from the list more certainly than any other way that I have found. It also is very good for relieving the frustration that they have caused you to feel.
Perversely, this is also what is best for them since it prevents them from wasting time trying to wheedle you into changing your mind.
Try it, you'll like it.

They don't leave a message but if you call the number back you get a recording from "Anne" from from Political Opinions of America. It says "you were called to participate in a survey and now the survey time has expired. If you would not like to partipate in any further survey, press 1 now." They call on my cell phone which is registered on the Do Not Call list. How do you get them to stop calling?
Don't think that is correct (am going to do a little research on this though). My read of DNC is no solicitation. Using subterfuge to sell isn't allowed.
TX I hate to tell you Political calls are not covered on the Do not call list. However I have no idea how some of these people get my cell phone number.
