Place cell number on government do not call list is about the only way.

I have my home number and my cell number on the new do not call list and I still get the call about my car warranty expiring on my cell phone.

I am hoping that they will eventually stop.

It can take up to 4-6 weeks, but it will die down. After that time, get the name of any company that calls and send it in. Usually, if you even just mention to the telemarketer, they'll freak out and put a note in their system.

I just go ahead and answer it and hand it off to my 3 year old.

Ask them what time they eat supper and what their home # is so that you can call them back at a time that's more convenient for you. :devil:

Or act like your a cop at a murder scene. OMG that one email that was passed around was hilarious! That telemarkerter didn't know WHAT to do! HAHA
