Comments:

Automated recorded messages are as much as an intrusion as a person to person call. I have initiated "tracing" for current 866 calls coming to my home office number, soliciting for what I suspect to be slamming for LD services. Even after stating that the number called is a business phone in which I do not have purchasing decision for, I continue to receive the call from the same 866 number at least three times a day. Please consider that many more employees today and in the future will be virtual, and telemarketing disrupts corporate business.
