A thought for all of you: After trying every possible way to stop these calls, nothing works and the volume of them is increasing to a point where they are 9 of 10 calls that I get. Unbelievable! So, in frustration, I put the following VM greeting:
"If you are a telemarketer, you are wasting your time. We will NEVER do business with companies that ignore the Do Not Call list and find ways to get through Privacy Manager. But, if you are a friend or family member, you are very welcome to leave a message so that I can call YOU back."
This hasn't stopped these creeps, but it's the only thing that has slowed them down. Perhaps if you let them know that you will not answer the phone for them, you can get some relief from these morons calling and interrupting you from more important things--like peace of mind.
