Comments:
Telemarketer calls are not only intrusive, they can get in the way of much more important calls. Dropped calls and pre-recorded calls are worse -- they eat up message space on the message machine. I am often away from home on business, and depend on that message machine for important calls. On any given trip, 10% of the space is taken up by those useless calls. I oppose ANY telemarketing calls, dropped, personal, or pre-recorded. If I want a product, I'll buy it -- the government should forbid any use of my phone as a marketing device for others. I pay for this phone, for my use, not for the use of private businesses. And while I'm on it, I am STRONGLY opposed to the recording of my business conversations by corporations "for quality purposes." To begin with, that reason given is a lie. More important, to have someone monitor or record my private conversations is a complete and offensive invasion of my private business. It should be outlawed, and soon. Thanks, DMS
