I once had a number that I called to get rid of telemarketers. I've moved since, got a new phone number, and don't remember the number. Does anyone know what it is? I can't stand all the telemarketers that keep calling!

Do a search online for "do not call list"; I did it online and it worked for the most part.

Top 10 ImaMother ways to get rid of telemarketers:
1. Tell them you smell
2. Ask them why they are anonymous
3. Ask them about their home birth
4. Ask them if they get paid more than your babysitter
5. Start explaining how the outbox is the sentbox
6. Ask them if they have a passion
7. Ask them what NATURAL means. Maximum 250 words
8. Tell them your Uncle Moishy doesn't let you talk to strangers
9. Tell them you have to check with your Rabbi
and the number 10 way is..
Ask them for a donation.

very cute, mommy912.
the problem today is that most of these phonecalls are prerecorded so there's really noone to talk to.

if I hear what I think is a prerecorded message, I say "hello?" and if he keeps talking, I hang up.
If you get a call and you say "hello" and the person doesn't answer right away, chances are it's a telemarketer. Hang up right away.
Thanks for the 888 number. I heard about a number to call to avoid getting cell telemarketer calls. didn't know you could do it for your home phone. thanks!
