My feelings exactly. They sell our cell numbers to solicitors. Is anyone getting these phone calls on their home phone? Or are they only coming in on cell phones?
I have been getting these kinds of calls ever since I changed my US Cellular plan to a cheaper one that does not have free incoming calls. I am begining to suspect THEY are the ones selling their phone number list to these [***] in order to generate more income.
Easy way to avoid paying for the incoming call. Just do not answer any calls not in your contacts list. Ignore them; Then come to this website and see what posts are here. Without exception, so far, every number not in my contact list has numerous post on this website. I know, what if the call is really important or someone you know? Guess what? It will keep and they will wait until you return their call. I have a pay-as-you-go from AT&T and since I adopted this strategy my monthly cell phone cost is less than $30.00. And If you happen to have one of those phones that answers when you flip open the lid, ...ditch it and get a differant one.
