Message: <blockquote data-quote="Harmon" data-source="post: 3900759" data-attributes="member: 24357">As of late I have been getting calls that are recorded Spanish speaking solicitors on my cell phone.The recording ends and once in a while a person picks up, and is obviously trying to make a sale, but neither of us speak the same language, I have attempted to get them to remove me from their call list but to no avail.I have come to the conclusion that keeping them on the line might eventually get something done (namely get my name off their list) and also it will keep someone else from getting a call while I am on the line with them.Last night I got another call from them so I decided to call them back cause the guy was kinda rude, the message I got said something about me being unable to make an International call as dialed.  WT Frak?  So I called my carrier and asked about getting international calls blocked, but they can not do so- incoming calls are not charged so they can not be blocked.  Okay.  So I contacted the do not call list (<a href="http://www.donotcall.gov" target="_blank">www.donotcall.gov</a>) and placed a couple phone numbers on it (wife's, mine, and did the house phone again).Its my thought that I will call my carrier with every single one of these calls in the future, as I fear the old solicitors trick of transferring to an international number and cranking up the charges.  Eventually the carrier might get the idea that they need to do something.In any case it's annoying me, because I hate phone solicitors so much.I'd like to know if anyone else is having similar troubles with these kinds of calls?Oh, and thanks for the forum to *&^(@ about something like this- I feel better now.</blockquote>
