Here is some ways I've got back at Telemarketers and they have not called ever since.

-subscribe to Call Display

-recognize a telemarketer and save them in your directory/address book.

1) Politely tell them your phone number has been recently ported over to a Cellphone and its illegal for telemarketers to call peoples cellphones or

2)if they are trying to sell you windows tell them you dont have any windows, and if they ask why, tell them its not your job to ask why or

3) if they say can I have a few mins of your time, ask them if you will be PAID to listen or partake in any surveys or questioneers, and if they say no, tell them to call you back ONLY if it involves in you being paid to answer questions OR

4) if they call you at dinner time do this:

Seinfeld (to telemarketer): I can't talk right now. Why don't you give me your home number, and I'll call you back later.
Telemarketer: I'm afraid we can't do that.
Seinfeld: Oh, I guess you don't want people calling you and bugging you at home.
Telemarketer: Right.
Seinfeld: Well now you know how I feel.
