Hello, telemarketer

I got a free landline and cable with my Internet from SureWest.

Today, I found a cordless phone in one of my boxes and decided to give the old landline a try.  I enjoyed talking to my parents without worrying about frying my cell battery.  

However, I got two telemarketer calls tonight.  One was going to give me a free cruise, and the other was magazines.  My thought upon the second call: “Maybe I need to go ahead and put this phone number on the No Call List.”  

Then, I realized I need to interface this phone with the computer so I can mess with telemarketers’ heads and post the results here as MP3s.  Plus, I don’t know my phone number.

Stay tuned.

    I agree Matt. Excellent idea. I get calls all the time on my phone. I even get calls for whoever had the phone number before me, and apparently he has some debts to pay up.
    By the way, don’t think answering the phone with “Hola” will deter them. I did that once and the person immediately rattled off their speech in Spanish. I just hung up immediately.
