I just had the phone ring and the caller ID said NAPAAL so I did not pick it up. I jumped on the computer and it led me to this site.
My Dad put a cool thing on my phone that plays the tune to "Charge!", if it is a local number or number I have on my caller ID list of people I normally call. That way, I also know whether to answe3r it or not.
I have been receiving several calls from NAPAAL from number 434-878-9985. I did find out that if you call 1-800-396-1757 from the phone they are calling you on you can have your number deleted by pressing option 9. So far so good. I still find it ridiculous that charities and political solicitation is exempt from the do not call list.

I just got woke up by NAPAAL, they were trying to get donations for childrens playground equipment,what they do is try to get you to say yes to one of there questions while their recording you. then they can use your yes to a different question without you knowing it, I got a call from NAPALL 215-436-8696 at8:12 and another at 8:18 from a private caller at 201-917-1787, I didnt answer the second call but that might be from them to.
Ah yes! Nothing like a call from NAPAAL. I have three lines coming into my house; the published number, a second line that is only given to friends and family and a third for the special friends and family. Through my telco (was BellSouth but now AT&T)each of those lines has a distinctive ring. In addition, I use Directv instead of cable. Directv has a feature that you can turn on so that when the phone rings, caller ID will pop up on the screen of the TV so you can decide to pick up or not.
One day, I got a call on one of the other lines. The Caller ID identified no name, but it did list the city from where the call dialed. Since my son travels quite a bit, I thought maybe it was him calling from a hotel. When I answered there was a moment of silence and I knew I had a telemarketer. He was using some info from the telco of some databank as he asked if he was speaking to xxxx yyyyyyy. When I answered the afffirmative, he gave me his name (?) and started his salespitch. It was always XXXX this or XXXX. I finally said that he had my permission to call me Mr. YYYY at anytime (It is an egregious insult in the South to call someone by their first name instead of Mr or Ms until you have known them a while). He did not take the hint despite continued repeating of my admonition.
When he stopped to take a breath, I quickly seized the moment to ask one question. How much of the money that you are asking for will actually be received by the charity? After heming and hawing, I got him to say 40%. I thanked him for his time, no donation will be sent to you, and put me on your "no call" list.
