My favorite one is, where you say can you hang on please and leave them hanging on the phone, I don;t know about in the USA but here in Australia they can only be on a call for so  long if they are not doing a survey or selling something..\n\nI used to do market research and hated disturbing people when they were having their dinner, the best I have had is when someone said, to me that they were slightly busy and could I hang on...I agreed all I heard fromt he other end is the bang of a gun (wasnt really) and someone screaming they had been shot LOL lucky they come back and said they were playing with me, I hung up the phone and forgot to take the survey LOL.

I'm currently working as an assistant in our ' Training and Development' dept. The company I work for has been around for 21 years. They are very successful. \nThere are so many rules and regulations that go behind Telemarketing. Depending on what states/provinces you are calling. \nI can tell you this, There is very little you can do to reduce the annoyance. There are expectations on the job. These include being aggressive yet polite, be assertive and persistent. Persistence is the one thing that will help you make the commission if that is how the company pays. Learn as much as you can about what your selling. You will sound more confident if you know what your talking about. It's can be a very frustating job. Don't let it show in your voice. Stay friendly and don't pause!! You pause...cust clicks!\nIf you want to talk some more...email me. I'll be glad to help.

Call your phone company, we have a thing on our phone that doesn't let any one call unless they have a listed caller id.

Are you talking about stopping telemarketers?\n\nGo to the National No Call Registry, it's free:\n\nhttps://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx\n\nThere's also a state no call but you would have to search for that yourself since I don't know what state you live in.  Just type your state No Call Registry in your browser.

Just call the police next time.  These people are harassing you and taking advantage of your having a phone.  I would ignore them when they knock, but if they are "pounding on the door at three a.m." I would most certainly get the authorities involved.

Step one:  Put your name on the "Do Not Call" list.  Go to https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx\n\nIf they call, you now have some additional charges to hit them with.  \n\nIn the meantime, file a police report.  I'm going to bet they won't do anything, but it does two things.  1) Established a police report for future prosecution, 2) if you actually have a police department that does anything they can easily get the identification of the phone number.  With that you can file complaints with the FTC (again fairly worthless, but at this state you want a paper trail.)\n\nIn the meantime, get as much information from them as you can.  When the offer something, get call back info, name, mailing address, whatever they are silly enough to give out.  As for literature to be mailed to you. \n\nEventually you will develop enough to go after them.

If its a landline(not a cellphone) you can just block all restricted callers...the phone call will not go through without revealing the number...just call your phone company to put call blocking on.

You polite?  Christ, now I've heard it all... anyway the way I deal with them is to say the following: \n\n"I'm busy can I call you back at around 11 tonight"\nThey will usually reply and say I'm not here then, I'm at home\n"oh give me your home number then and I will call you there"\nThey say we can't give out our home numbers\n"oh can I not call you at home then?"\nno\n"what makes you think you can fecking call me at home then you daft feckwit?" \n\nNormally they hang up.

Just make sure you are polite in case they monitor your calls and you do all the things you have to do.  Then ask if there is anything else you could help with and when they say no you say, thank you sir and you have a nice day.  That will let them know that you are done with their call while still being polite.

Get privacy manager. That usually stops the unwanted call. And if it doesn't they have to tell you who is calling. An operator comes on the phone and asks you if you want to accept the call or no. That has stopped a ton of unwanted calls at my house.
