And again, telemarketers are not party to my contract with the phone company. They can't rely on the contract to defend themselves.

They have contracts with their phone companies that allow them to call you. Your contract does not override theirs.

Contract Law 101: A has contract with B. B has Contract with C. A and B's contract in no way binds C. A telemarketer's contract with a phone company in no way effects me, and vice-versa.

Contract Law 102: You cannot contract to do something illegal. If a telemarketer enters into a contract with a phone company for services, the telemarketer cannot use those services for something illegal and hide behind the contract. So, a telemarketer may have a contract for "unlimited phone services" but those services are limited to legal behavior.
