What the furk is all this then?? I do nights regular, and the bloody bank/water company/electric people/gas/telephoe/insurance people all like to ' call ', to see if I need X, Y or Z...? I tell em to give me their home number and I will call them to discuss it when I am awake about 2am on my tea break so BUGGER OFF AND GIVE US A BREAK EH !!!!
ON MY SOAP BOX AGAIN
Do what Daz did.............. the double glazing company kept calling him to see if he wanted it, he kept telling them he lived in a council property, its double glazed anyway. they wouldnt stop calling, so eventually he said "ok them come round and assess me for it!!" he came home one day and found this bloke looking at the windows. He turned round and said "but you've got double glazing already, i'm gonna do you for time wasting!!" Well...... lets put it this way, Daz had a word in his ear about time wasting, and hasnt had another call since!!! lol
I usulaa send the cheeky twats to the dickwad down the street who is just a real asswipe and tell them to call real early cos he is always pissed up from his bing of drink and the curly fags????
All I can say is wait until you get called by an overseas mobile sales centre. They use an automated system where they will call you even when there is no sales person available so it rings about four times and then stops. "What's so bad about that", I hear you say, it autodials your number every 10mins and will keep doing it until on the off chance an operator is free to talk to you. It did this all day from 9am-5pm mad

Depends how you do it. My grandparents, for example, used to get a lot of telemarketing calls. Now, they're both in their mid-eighties and deaf as a post, so they can't understand what people are saying anyway. But they have to answer the phone - it might be me, or a relative, or a friend, or someone in trouble - which when you're 87 means putting down your supper, struggling to your feet, shuffling across two rooms before you can finally pick it up and not understand what's being said. For them, I think it was a significant problem. Sorry Clare.
I got them onto the telemarketing blacklist thingy and they haven't been troubled nearly so much since.
Meanwhile I, despite being on no blacklists, despite having taken no steps to prevent cold-calling, despite being a single man in my mid-twenties, with disposable income, and at home all day, get virtually no telemarketing calls. I can't even remember the last one.

Sorry Clare, your avatar is lovely but tele-sales really is that bad. In my opinion it should be illegal as it is intruding on other peoples privacy and wasting their time! mad
I also think there should be a ban on door-to-door selling and people canvassing in the high street. :x
Right I have finished ranting now, "...and relax".

I worked in Industrial Sales for years, believe me keeping the business fed with orders that they can make at a profit isn't easy , and no one ever thanks you from either side . However we were dealing with pros,and with their buying power you had to respect them . I don't like recieving telesales calls myself although I always try to conclude them without being impolite ,the idea of a housebound invalid living on benefits getting this sort of pressure though is upsetting.

You've made me blush now redface
Just a shame you are priceless :cry:
I say, I say , I say - what do you call an unexpected courtesy call ?
My best audience of the week !!
If you've got caller ID and telesales calls always come up as "number withheld", next time it happens, when you pick up the phone say "Hi is John there", and insist that you've just dialled them. It really puts them off their stride, they completely forget their script 9 times out of 10 biggrin
CM
I like to put them off their script too. When sales people phone my restaurant which they do everyday - I always treat them as if they are a customer - and ask them what time they want to book a table and how many is it for - I mean why else would you phone a restaurant during lunch time?
Those that are apologetic and smile about it - I make an appointment for them to phone back (I mean it is a bloody tough way to earn a living so no point in not giving folk a chance) but 9 out of 10 are unable to deviate from there script and just end up hanging up on me.
Hi I have had the same problem all I did was call my telecoms provider
and ask if they could do something about the calls, I was abel to put a bar on calls which had number with held, great , oh s--t some friends could not call me
there is another service which bars cold calling from call centres and auto dialed numbers this is the telephone preferance service
I hope this helps
