Showing Original Post only (View all)I'm up to my gills with telemarketers! [View all]
My kids talked me into dropping my land line and using only a cell phone. It saves me a ton of money each month because they put me on their 'friends and family' plan. While I appreciate this, I find that I am uncomfortable with the operation of this phone. I'm learning but: Geese Louise, I am getting all kinds of telemarketing calls. I don't recognize the numbers and am now at the point that I am letting the phone ring, then going to the computer to see if I can look up the number. Sure enough, many of them are listed as telemarketers.
I was unable to answer a call I got earlier this am, and had the presents of mind to see if I could look it up. Sure enough, there was the number and listed as a telemarketing firm in Florida.
Should I never answer the phone except for the numbers that are in my address book? I can go to the computer and try to see if I can find some reference to the number but what a pain in the neck. If I answer, I will be charged for the call as I understand it.
I thought there was a law against telemarketing calls.
