yea, but that could block some cell phones, pay phones and long distance. I have call intercept which i love. It makes the caller leave his or her name then you can accept or decline the phone call.
Anyway, I do feel kinda sorry for the telemarketing industry. I know it's annoying, but a most of people think pop ups, crossbills, ect are annoying. How would you feel if pop ups or crossbills were outlawed or better yet, free sites. Since these telemarketers make most if not all their money from the phone, it's the equivalent of free sites being outlawed for us free site webmasters.
I know that there is a public demand for free porn unlike phone solicitation so it's not fair to compare, all I'm saying is that I feel sorry for the companies and the jobs being lost. Most telemarketers make 8 or 9 an hour and don't possess any real skills What are they going to do? wait tables again? Welfare?.
Don't get me wrong, I'm for this list and I even put my phone on it, but at the same time, I do feel for their industry. We of all people should know what it's like
