Fed Up With Scam Robocalls and Telemarketers!

This article gives some advice on how to reduce the number you get on your landline. (It's easier to block them on your cellphone if you have a Smartphone). Here's the link:

@handygal2  I bought the Panasonic phone on HSN with CALL BLOCK. It has made a huge difference in calls on my land line....worth every dollar and a great phone to boot!

@SeaMaiden: Thanks for the recommendation. I've been considering replacing all of my landline phones for a long time, and l think the time has finally come!

Ever since I signed up for the Do not call registry many years ago I have not gotten one single telemarketing call or robocall or anything along that lines. It is soooo nice!!

We no longer have a land line.  When we did, I'd get soooooo many of those calls.  They're bad enough as it is, but what really got me even more angry was that sometimes calling at 9 p.m. and later.  Having a young daughter who went to bed early for school....it just got me so mad.  I haven't had nearly as many on my cell, but I'd rather have none.

I get them on my cell phone persistently.  This, despite being on the Do Not Call Registry which must have been a joke or something.
