That will just keep you on their list. Better telling them that you don't want to be called, but thanks anyway. Be sure to tell them to put you on their do not call list. If they call again, then ask to speak with the manager. A reputable company, 99.9%, will honor your wishes. The last thing they want is an escalated problem.

THe phone company has a variety of phone products to stop solicitors. If you haven't chewed THEIR heads off already, I'm surprised they haven't told you. Qwest is really good at this, and I never get calls anymore, when it used to be a real problem.

I tried that, but I still get calls. I'd rather do what I can to make it expensive for them. I think if everyone does this it will work and we won't have to pay for "products" to keep them away.
