I've gotten it a few times. Pissed me off.

Normally few enough people call me that I can just not answer it, but it's a pain in the ass during the periods I'm waiting for an important call.

Nothing on my mobile yet, but we keep getting called on the land line by US telemarketers.

Go here and look up the number(s):

All of mine were in this listing. I have been getting several a week, so I registered with the no call list.
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

I had Dodge doing that for a couple of months trying to get me to buy an extended warranty for my Dakota. They kept switching phone numbers every time I would block one. I finally had enough and called their HQ and filed a complaint and let them know that while I will never be pressured or harassed into buying the extended warranty that I might very well get pissed off enough to never again buy any Dodge or Chrysler products. It seems to have worked for the last 5 days.

I just called the do not call registry @ 1 (888) 382-1222 and now have my cell phone on the do not call list. This thread lit a fire under my ass to get that done. Thanks for the reminder Parts.

Don't know mate, but that's just another reason I won't have a mobile phone.

I kinda have to have one for the business  I don't give out that number to many though and usually let it go to voice mail anyway
