i did my homework

So Tash and I were talking today and started to talk about telemarketers. I figure they will eventually call you again even after putting you on their don't call list. Tash told me that my homework was to check it out. So I did cause I need something with a purpose to do. I figured I would share my findings. You can sign up 3 phone numbers, this includes cell phone numbers, on the National Do Not Call List. This limits calls "from or on behalf of political organizations, charities, and telephone surveyors would still be permitted, as would calls from companies with which you have an existing business relationship, or those to whom you’ve provided express agreement in writing to receive their calls." It is supposed to work within 31 days and lasts for 5 years. You cando this online at https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx but I do not know if it works from personal experience. You can also ask the company to be on their don't call list and that gets you on for 10 years. They do have to listen or they can be fined. One other thing that I found that is like a side note that I found kind of interesting is that you can record that annoying sound on your answering machine it makes when you dial a wrong number and it confuses some computers into not calling you anymore.
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
