Certainly not in our household! When we don't want to be bothered, we let the answering machine get the calls. Telemarketers hardly ever leave messages. I think we'll continue that policy. To my knowledge, there is no device that can force us to pick up the phone if we don't want to.

Yep, that's the ultimate stopper. Anybody who knows me knows by now that the answering machine is *always* on, even if we just finished talking.
