In reply to the discussion: I'm about to blow my lid. Phone calls for Medicare supplemental insurance are driving me insane. [View all]ooky
(8,908 posts)9. I use an ooma phone as my back up phone to my cellular phone
and for some reason the telemarketers haven't found it, probably because I've never given that phone number out to anybody for anything. Its an internet phone service and I pay $4 a month for the service. plus had to buy the system for a one time $100 investment. That money is recovered quick from getting rid of the traditional land line and its monthly phone bill. It worked with my old cordless phones so I didn't need to buy any more phones. I've been using it for about 5 years now and its always been reliable and there were no other catches, and I'm not bothered by telemarketers!

If they're legitimate companies, they won't call if you have a DO NOT CALL registration...

Also, if they are legit, they won't be spoofing other people's phone numbers.

I keep them on the phone for a few minutes and then say, call again so I can waste more of your time
