I am sick and tired of receiving junk phone calls. Often we get a call
from the same junk company 3X in 1 week! Is there any way to eliminate
this type of nuisance? Would getting an unlisted number do the
trick, or do these bothersome people get numbers from places
like credit card companies, etc? About the only way we handle these
calls right now is to let our answering machine answer calls between
5:30pm-7:00pm week nights, but we have received calls later at night,
and even on weekends.
