It won't work as the telephone cannot transmit that loud and sudden a sound. Your hearing will pay the price-the caller (human or computer) could care less. It's a myth.
I've been getting calls for long before the govt. shut down.........when I see that it's from "medical solutions", I just let it ring, or answer and cut them off right away. I am also on do not call registry, but continue to get unwanted or unsolicited calls on land line and cell phone. It's annoying and I wonder why I bothered to sign up for the registry in the first place!
This caller has called my cell phone 12 times in the last 4 hours and after I reject the call it calls back right away.I would like to put the call on their no callback list but I don't know how to do it on a cell as I press any key and it does nothing when I call them back after listening to their recording.............any help out there,Thanks
I live in Illinois and am a Senior Citizen. I am on the Do Not Call Registry. TODAY, I received 7 phone calls from Medical Solutions.........a half an hour apart from one another.
I answered the first time & hung up. The 2nd time, I didn't say hello & waited for someone to speak..........They did NOT speak & I hung up. Then, the rest of the calls went to my Answering machine & they left NO message. Two hours later, I got 2 phone calls from First Medical C. (908) 469-0995. Those 2 calls were a half an hour apart. From what I gather, it is the same company using different names & phone numbers to drive people UP THE WALL!!! I do NOT have the ability to keep running to see who is calling on MY phone. These people are really sickos!!!! They should be prosecuted!!!
Just now called me, however, since I didn't recognize the number, I waited for the answering machine to kick in...they hung up before it activated.
Saw a couple of things on the forums regarding these callers and am using them myself to help ease the nuisance factor, however, won't totally stop the calls. Hopefully these procedures may work for all of you.
For the land line, see if you can run a block on your phone line for numbers you place into it. These numbers would of course be the "scammers" whom you do not want hear.
On my phone system I have two options one for "ANONONYMOUS CALLERS": (no phone number OR name shown) scammers, blocked, private, I block them by using *77 on my phone - it will give you directions on how to continue. If it is someone who is legitimate they will leave a message on my voice mail.
The other option is phone numbers that show on your CALL SCREEN and you recognize them as scammers (or look up the numbers on forums like this one to see if they are): to block, I dial *60 and follow cues.
When I have a new number that rings through then I drop one of the earlier numbers and replace it with the newest, like this one ( system only accepts approx. 10 at a time).
Now the cell phone: place the nuisance phone number into your Save Contact directory>new contact>work>scroll to phone number and save. Now go to the phone number>options>contact details>default ringer>change>and choose "NO RINGER". Now when they call, I'm not disturbed because I don't hear it.
Granted, it may not stop these calls being made, however I'm no longer interrupted and frustrated by them. Also I noticed the old numbers I exchanged with the new numbers are rarely in my future calls, they seem to have dropped off the radar.
Hope this helps take away some of the frustrations.
