If you have a smartphone, dowload an app called Mr Number. There, you put any number you want on the block list - and you have an option to send a blocked call straight to v-mail or hang up the call right away. I prefer the second option :)
Good luck!
Problem is people have babies sleeping and in my case both baby sleeping and sick adult. I would appreciate if no one answers after 25 times that you stop calling.
Same experience as Terry's noted above.
A lot has been written in the press about citizens frusterations with these type of calls, why FCC does not shut down these callers.
This number has been on my caller I.D. multiple times daily for the last few months.
The caller I.D. says Public Assist
When you call the number back, a man's voice answers saying, "Thank you for calling.
If you'd like your number removed from our call list, press 1 now". The person on the
message doesn't even identify themselves. And after you press 1, then it disconnects,
and they still keep calling & calling every day! When you call the number back & either
don't press anything, just wait, or dial "0" trying to get someone on the phone, you get
the loud beeping with the recording"if you'd like to make a call, please hang up . . ."
and then it disconnects. I would love to know who these people are & get them to stop calling.
Anyone know what to do?
This number calls my home atleast 6 times a day. I can only imagine that the folks that do this for a living must be lacking of education and have no other options in life but to do this type of so called work. I stayed on the phone today and spoke with a girl named Nina (so she says), claiming her I.D. # was 1402. She talked over me as well as making a very loud noise in the phone while I was speaking. So- called-Nina told me she would put my number on the Do Not Call List. I advised her I was on the National Do not Call List.
Lacking in any kind of smarts, she advised me it was not a sales call, therefore the National Do Not Call List does not apply. And what a shocker,she hung up on me. Who couldn't see that coming.
You won't get a response from these people. If you press "0" to talk to an operator, you eventually get hung up on without speaking to anyone. Very annoying. I've been called 3-4 times a day for the past 2 weeks.
