Digest for misc.consumers.frugal-living@googlegroups.com - 3 updates in 1 topic

KenK <invalid@invalid.com>: Dec 05 02:09PM

I entered my phone number and email address at the do not call list web
site to verify my number is on the list. Two days ago. No response at all.
Any one else?
 
I get a lot of telemarketing calls.
 
TIA

There never were any teeth behind the do-not-call list. Telemarketers
ignore the concept.

I registered online a while back, but you can also try registering by
phone by "calling 1-888-382-1222 from the phone you want to register."

I started getting more recently, and a feature my land line phone provider
has called "No Solitication" plays a recording telling them to remove my
number from their marketing list and stay on the line if they are not a
marketer has helped a lot. You can exclude certain numbers from the list
and even partial numbers; I entered my state's area codes since all of the
annoying calls were from out-of-state and most of my legitimate incoming
calls are from this state.
