I don't get any "legitimate" calls because I'm on the State and US National Do Not Call Registry.
All I get is illegitimate calls and have therefore resorted to calling my friends and colleagues: "I do not answer phone calls. Period. Ever. If you need me, arrange a Skype/Hangout/Facetime or even voice call in advance."
- maxerickson 12y agoCompanies that have a relationship with you, charities, and political groups are all still allowed to call you (at least under national rules). My suggestion will stop the companies and charities. I don't think anything will stop the political groups. 3 bad calls a week isn't perfect, but it makes the phone useful (this is about what I get here). If you want to argue about what legitimate means and pay for a useless phone, that's your prerogative.
- colinbartlett 12y agoWoops, didn't mean to indicate your suggestion wasn't good. Was just adding to the conversation. Asking to "opt out" really does work, I have used this many times with success.
