We need to preserve legit business sales calls. You might hate then but they are crucial for most business to business companies. Most cold callers are terrible this hated. Professionals with respectful, honest approaches are typically tolerated.
That’s the real difference between a shitty sales call and a productive business conversation that may be sales oriented but delivers value to the recipient. |

Just randomly checked the home phone......30 Indian scam calls yesterday! This is why I have the ringer turned off and only use it for outbound calls. I don't understand why we can't just figure out where the Indian scam call centers are and drone strike them. They're calling in the middle of the night, India time, so no one else should be in the offices but the scammers. Drop some bombs!

I was getting several calls daily from a prerecorded chinese message wanting to sell a healthcare plan of some sort.
Robokiller app solved the issue for me. The calls stopped getting through immediately after implementing the app. |

Supposedly you can white list numbers you want to receive calls from, every other caller gets a message asking them to press a key, then asking them to say their name, and when they do that, THEN the phone rings and plays the name of the caller. That seems like it should work. I'll report back when I have it set up. |

I don't believe there is such a do not call list in India. They trade phone numbers between scammers, and people who **** with them, they just call more, simply out of spite. It costs them virtually nothing to harass people with the phone. So there it is. They like harassing me, and I sometimes find it cathartic to **** with them. But I've had it. I just want my phone back, so I'm hoping this new phone system finally puts a stop to it.

UPDATE: IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING!
So I saw a home phone system that claims to eliminate scam robocalls completely.....not one ring, nothing. So I ordered it, and installed it this morning.
Peace! Had my friend call, and the announcement asks the caller to state their name and press the pound key to make the call go through. She did, call went through. Phone still counts missed calls, and a check of the caller ID shows a few scam calls that I never heard or otherwise knew about it. The phone gives you the option of "whitelisting" numbers, so you can press a key and that number will just ring right through with no extra steps. That function seems to work as advertised, too. Bye, you scamming bastards!!!!!!!!!! Edit: This seems like it would be perfect for anyone with a land line, especially elderly who might be vulnerable to scammers. Just prevent them from making your phone ring in the first place. |
