I Have Something to Say

So we can put a man on the moon, we can calculate distances to billions of light-years, we have built pyramids, great walls and space ships.

All of these great feats... but we cannot stop telemarketers from calling our phones. 4 house calls so far today, others to my mobile... I'm on the laughing-joke "DO NOT CALL" list...

Surely this can't be as hard as the eradication of smallpox?

I have a button on my phone so I can block solicitors. 🙂

@SW-User Wish it worked permanently that way 😏
Honestly though, the numbers just keep changing, so you have to keep blocking... I block them every chance I can. Biggest mistake is talking to a "bot" and then they know a real human answers the phone(!)

The struggle is real! Lol...

@CCMorgan I know! My usual response was to pick up the phone then hang up. But I have caller ID, so now if I see that, without talking the call, I just push the block button. Better than nothing!
