This really fouls up their system as they are unable to phone out as long as you don't hang up. It works!

Request the "block the blocker" option as part of your SaskTel package. This reduces the number of calls coming in as they can't do the work to unblock the call when it comes from an automated dialling program.<br />The other alternative is to answer the call and speak in another language - or make up one. That totally confuses them and they probably won't call again! Give it a try!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
