Starting today you can register your phone numbers with the Federal Do Not Call registry and stop most of those pesky telemarketers! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] (Fundraising and surveys are exempted. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

I could not get in the site. Must be very busy. We have a "Do not Call" list here in New York and it works very well. About the only call we get is the Red Cross calling for my blood. (O+ is popular)

Thanks Sara, We also have a no call here but I add ouur number anyhow. We still get some calls and maybe this will stop them. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Shame you can't do that yet over here. I got a call from American Express at lunchtime, asking me all about accident insurance. I told him I'd got flu (I could feel my temperature soaring, just being on the phone to him! [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img] ) and asked him to put something in the post to me. To his credit, he agreed. They normally don't give up so easily! [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I tried doing it this morning...you have to respond to an email they send you, but the link they sent me went nowhere.

I just want to know that MCI won't be calling us again!!!!!!!

Thanks Sara, I just registered my phone number.

I tried this morning and it wouldn't go through so I figured it was a very busy site! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I'm going to try again later.

I wonder if they will go back to using the mail if enough people sign up for this feature. The call I hate the most is the one where they aren't there because they have dialed several numbers at the same time.

I just tried too, but couldn't get into the site. Maybe later. I'd also like MCI to quit bugging me!! [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

I wish Canada had one of these as well. I think the best we can do is just ask the telemarketer to remove our number from their call list, but of course, by that time they've already called and interrupted whatever you were doing. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] I don't mind answering the phone when it's someone I know, but I instantly see red when it's a telemarketer. Once we had a funeral home call us and I thought I had politely told her I wasn't interested. The next thing I knew she was phoning daily and offering to put pamphlets in the mail! I was so mad! And what if we had recently lost somebody? [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img] Very poor taste. Since then I've not been so polite when some poor telemarketer calls. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I got into the web site just fine this morning. I registered our home phone and 2 cell phones. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] They were already registered with the New York state Do Not Call list and that works fine but I figured, "what the heck". [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

It worked for me this morning too! I can hardly wait for October 1st!! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

My DH signed us up this morning. He got in with no problems, I guess because it was early. It is well worth it, but I wish they could include charities and politicians as well.
