You ought not post links to apparently unmaintained and amateurish webpages which tout software. There's no telling what an EXE file would do, and those pages you listed seem less than professional, what with all their broken links.

Interesting technological suggestion from this month's Wired magazine.
Find a non-working number. Call it and record that nasty 4-note tone that you get from the telco. Truncate it down to just the first note. Record that at the beginning of the outbound message on your voicemail/voice recorder.
Supposedly, the ACD phone switches that sophisticated telemarkers use will recognize that tone and drop the call immediately, and likely result in your number being removed from that telemarketer's database.

Some fun software for this kind of stuff: OK, I'm just having a little trouble understanding how software on my computer will help with telemarketers on my phone.
