Actually, it's not so much getting rid of them as preventing them from calling me in the first place.
A year or two ago the government (or was it the phone company?) promoted a do-not-call list and after we put our name on it the phone was mercifully free of such pests. Lately they've begun again.
Does anyone know who to contact to get back on the do-not-call list?
I am wondering if something is happening. I have had the same experience. For the first couple of years, I had no phone solocitation. In the last month though, I am getting a few, here and there. I think that I will re register.
You have to re-register every five years. Non-profits and political pollsters are exempt from checking the list before calling

Thanks, JPB. I've followed the link and registered my land line and my cell.
Phoenix - How are you?
Problem is, it's the non-profits and political calls I'd most like to block!
Getting rid of telephone solicitors
Yes indeed, Eva. But this will help somewhat. Anyway, I'm all set until 2012.
I dont think that the political or non profits fall into the no-call rule do they?
We had not had our number for a week before the local news paper called ......4 times
Sherrif dept called 11 times ( i ignored the call.. they kept calling)
Political recordings
Small auto dial companies..
(urggghh)
Also allowed to call you are business you are already doing business with - e.g. credit card companies, stores, etc.
I ask them if I will be paid for my time and then say "but presumably you are being paid for yours - now that just doesn't seem fair to me" and they usually fumble about looking for a reply while I hang up.
