A while back we went from a land line to just using our cell phones and that has cut them out nearly 100 percent and we rarely get a marketing call on our cell phones. I don't miss them!!! It took a while for me to get used to not having a land line but now I don't miss it.

And while we have a 'do not call' list, that doesn't stop 'em.<br /><br />It makes me crazy. And the solution for us might be to drop the house phone and simply stick with a cellphone.<br />......which I don't answer unless your name pops up.
