Well I called my cable company to cut off my home landline telephone ...did not really want to because I've had out business cards with that phone number for years
The lady said certainly we can do HOWEVER ..after telling her the reason to cancel was telemarketers were driving us KRAAAZY ,,,she said I understand but we do "work with" nomorobo.com
I works this way .. thru Charter/Spectrum at least ..you sign up with nomorobo ..then go to your Charter/Spectrum account and set it to dual ring so when an incoming call comes in your phone and nomorobo's phon both get the call and if the call has been initiated by automation (which 90+ % are) ...nomorobo cuts off the call
All that happens on my end if it is a robotic telemarketer/fund raiser/politician/etc etc one ring and nomobobo slits it's throat!!!!!!! ...forgive me ...but I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying that one little single "ding/ring" thru out the day
It is free of charge ..and I am fairly certain that there is also availability for those of you with just regular phone service (not thru a cable company) as I saw an individual sign up portal as well as the one I used which was for like cable company customers
