Why bother getting on the no call list? Nothing is ever done when you call and report unsolicited calls. I have called many times and never got a single result. I have filled out reports on line and never got a single result. It is all just a waste of time.

Here's a suggestion for your woes. Put a "cool ringtone" on your phone for all unknown numbers. That way when these idiots do call it will at least be an enjoyable situation. Then, of course, do not answer numbers you don't recognize. It's really pretty simple. Eventually they will stop calling. Or at the very least, the rate of calls will slow way down.

There is already a no-call list with no distinction about whether it is for land lines for cell phones.

I have had great results with my land line being on both the federal & state No Call List. On every nuisance call I file a complaint. I'm retired so I can be very efficient on this little invasion of privacy. In fact the state attorney general office called me to get my phone records subpoena from Comcast. Go Jim Hood. Now I'm getting Medicare supplement phone calls. This is allow by social security.

Stick a coach's whistle in your pocket. If they call, blow it into the phone.

11:40 - not a bad idea but if you have an iPhone or android device you can go one step further and block the numbers. Not sure about blackberries but KF is the last person in the world still using one.

@2:52 KF isn't the last one....don't forget the POTUS.

The real problem now are the robo calls that you can't respond to.

Robo calls are no problem. What's the deal folks? Don't answer the phone if it's not a familiar number. If it's really important you'll get a voicemail.

I get at least ten a day on my land line that I do not answer. No, they will NOT stop calling, ever. And the one about the credit card with no problem and extended car warranty always leave a lengthy message that has to be heard from the other room, then deleted. The PSC can't do jack shit to control these things.

Callers now can put any phone number they want to show up in your caller ID. I get several calls from myself every week. Try calling the number back. You will not get an working phone or you might get your neighbor.
We need people smarter than those making the calls to work for the Public Service Commission. Sadly we have those who cannot read working there.

Meanwhile; Cecil The Frown Brown is busy advocating for increased salary for the three commissioners. He will ease into PERS retirement with one of the best guaranteed monthly checks of any political figure in Mississippi history. Bank on it.

The best way to stop this is we all work together - If someone calls my house that is in violation the no call law I will never ever buy anything from them or take anything they are giving away or cooperate with them in any way.
I tell them straight up - 'Because you called this number I know that you work for an unethical business. I don't need to know anything else about you.'
If we all did that they would stop calling. The reason they keep calling is that some fool somewhere is buying from them.

The no call list works almost as well as our state leaders when it comes to balancing a budget.

Well said, 11:41!
