I finally decided I didn't want the #@$%& telemarketers using the phone I PAY FOR to call me with their unwanted patter. I put my name on the no call list and it was supposed to go into effect October 1. I suppose they'll keep calling now.

Count on it...even moreso since the marketers have the "do not call" list...50 million verified phone numbers they can all to their hearts content.

Not only that, but since the telemarketers have access to this list in order to use it to supposedly "not call" us -- they have a nice fresh list of real phone numbers to call instead of just relying on their computer generated list. I did sign up for this list -- despite my concern about the trustworthiness of the people that would have access to this list. Grrrrrr.

I'm with you, isn’t this a private property rights issue? I own the phone that is in my house, don't I have the right to dictate whom I speak to on my phone? I can put a sign on my door that reads "No solicitors". Cities, towns and municipalities can enact ordinances barring door to door salesman. What's the difference here? I watch TV, I have a choice, as to which commercials I watch on my TV, why can't I do the same thing with my phone? You know it would be great if someone created a business that.........um I got to go .... cya!
