I no longer have a problem with them since getting rid of my land line but a few years ago I did.
As soon as they called Id tell them I wasnt interested, if they persisted Id keep them on the line as long as possible. For a telemarketer time is money.

My friend holds the record for tying up telemarketers. No this wasn’t some honest next door neighbor, this was someone who was trying to bilk older people for vitamins.
He got all the info they had and would start to give them a credit card number.... then, halfway through, he would remember another question. Sometimes it would require a supervisor to answer, sometimes he would change the order amount. He kept them going for 3 hours while he watched a football game. They finally hung up on him.

I just ask them to wait a minute, then I put the phone down and start banging pots and pans around if I am in the kitchen. If I am in my bedroom I talk to my dogs. If I am in my studio I turn up Rush, or Hannity or Michael Berry. I never go back to the phone and they get tired of waiting and hang up. Sometimes they get furious and call me right back and hang up on me. Makes me laugh. I have put both my numbers on do-not-call list repeatedly so I think they should know that.
