These orgs don't necessarily have a finite number of outbound lines - they'd be using SIP and just buy more channels from the myriad providers out there for a few bucks a month. You can also get "unlimited channels"-SIP trunk providers too - in which case you're limited only by the number of simultaneous virtual channels your Asterisk setup can handle.
So no, "keeping them busy" is not a viable solution.

You could develop a dialer app to autoroute, and perhaps even generate auto responses ( inverse robo call ?) to make it more frustrating
- bediger4000 9y agoYes, precisely. Does any research exist on what percentage of, say, cold calls, has to go bad before organizations abandon the practice? I'd google for this, but I'm not certain of what terms to use. It seems to me that percent honeypots might be relevant, percent of sabotage of cold calls, but I just don't know enough of this field to even start to get an answer. I do know enough to say that a simple North American can cause enough ire in an Indian call center worker, that he will call back 4 times just to say "Fuck you, sir!", and that if, by chance, the same North American call center worker gets you twice in a day, the conversation is quite profane.
