I have received at least 5 calls a day for 2 weeks now. Everyone is correct--this is definitely Direct TV. I followed-up someone's advice--called back and asked them to stop calling. They said they would put my name on the "Do Not Call" list (which I've already done) and it would take 7-10 days. I explained that this very strange approach to reconnect with propspective customers should be revisited.
I am not the victim of these irritating calls. Get these: The employees are NOT allowed to leave voice mail messages. What kind of company policy is this? I had researched about switching to Direct TV but no longer.
Also receiving annoying multiple calls a day from this number. Thanks for all of your information and responses. I called to check about getting service about a week ago. Will NEVER make that mistake again and will call to try to get on the do not call list.
Glad I read this thread. Was considering direct tv. Specifically told them I didn't want to be contacted by phone. Now, they are telemarketing anyway. I'll never use them and will consider other action.
